Groggy thus spake:

So I guess that the moral of the story is, if you have the knowledge (or
invest the time to learn it) you can buy a much cheaper machine and do the
final tuning yourself? Just like fettling an old plane? Who'da thunk it.

Apparently, perhaps I just got lucky.
I used to restore old cars, and learned to work with what ya got.

And you only paid $300, that's all? And the vibration "went away" you say?
And you probably spent less time tuning it than you would have sending it
away for replacement?

Actually, $310, plus state sales tax.
And it probably did take less time to fix it up than to hump it back
to the store 4 times for a BAD problem. And yes, the nickel stands!

This won't do at all Greg, no sir, not at all.

Say, are you making fun of me and the integrity of my report?

And it's Chiwanese you say? Oh the horror!

Yep, it's Chinese - nothing Taiwanese in it.
But still somewhat of a horror, considering unemployment figures...

I guess it didn't come with the
$1.10c wheel brushes the $800 saws have then!

Nope, but I figger an old parts washing brush or a toothbrush will do
just fine...

Ho ho ho, hee hee hee, har har har, Merry Christmas

Back at ya, Groggy. ;-)

Any other suggestions from the peanut gallery?

Just one - can you eliminate the runout by fitting a 5c washer?

I don't think that would work for a crooked wheel...

Say! Are you making fun of me again?
