well my new 804 arrived today, day off work to tinker and have fun or so i thought. When the truck arrived i found the delivery guy chucking bits of metal around in the back of the wagon (my fence and rails) This was because the saw itself was already assembled and had fallen off the pallet when he untied it. I took it in anyway so i could properly inspect it but it looks like the it has fallen onto the tilt handwheel and bent the shaft. It still turns freely enough but wobbles like a wobbly thing. The aluminium faces of the beismeyer type fence have deep dings in them i guess it didn't take too kindly to being bounced around. Arrrrrg! if only the driver had rang my doorbell and asked me for some help this could have been avoided.
I called woodford when i realised the problems and they will send me a new machine from the batch that is supposed to arrive tomorrow. So at least they are looking after me. But there is no chance i will get near the couple of projects i was planning before xmas
One thing for sure now that i have had a proper look at the machine, i know that i made the right choice its a great piece of kit. Also i added a mobile base from woodford as part of the order and am very impressed with the quality all metal and only 32 quid.
