Part for Nova and ? about delivery services
Jeff Rich
Unfortunately, due to the nature in which I purchased the lathe, the warranty does not apply.
However the part is inexpensive and has been ordered.
It will be interesting to see if this "cures" the toolslide locking problem or if I have a bit more filing.
The tech I spoke to at Teknatool was concerned about other parts and urged me to go through the lathe. I was told that when first introduced they had a slew of these returned because SOME delivery companies would take them off the pallet and loose pieces, break pieces by literally shoving it out the back of a van on to the ground.....These problems have been resolved.
I talked with him at length about how and where I purchased the lathe, honesty being the best policy.
With that being said, how many of you have had problems with delivery services mistreating a package? or handling with extra care?
When I bought my Jet 1642, Estes was very nice, scheduled delivery, and told me they could put the pallet anywhere I wanted. The driver called to inform me, and took a lot of care unloading.
