Greetings & Salutations,
Well after a bit of trials and tribulations I finally got the Performax
16-32 plus up and going.
I managed to get this for what I think was a pretty good price on
eBay and the guy that sold it took it apart and packaged
it up in 3 separate boxes.
The box that had the motor and drum assemble was packaged
up like no tomorrow but guess what UPS managed to drop it
or something and the shroud that controls the movement of
the drum head was cracked and broken completely thru.
With no way to adjust the head up and down I had a useless
piece of equipment that I had just paid $500 bucks for.
88111
So I got out the manual and found the part number and called
the customer service number for performax and ordered a new
shroud. That was Tuesday and I could not believe it but the
new one arrived here before noon today and in less than an
hour my bargain sander was adjusted and running and wow
am I happy.
Just when I am coming down to the finish line with 2 cherry
cedar chest that I am building I couldn't be happier since I can
now use this baby on the 22 x 45 lids of these chests.
88112 88113
I must say the the customer support for Performax was
terrific and even the seller on eBay was pretty fair too.
Even though he didn't have to because he did have the item
packaged about as good as could be expected he split the cost
of the new part with me.
What we will get from UPS is anyone's guess but will just have
to wait and see for now.
All in all I am swelled up a little at this addition to my shop.
Please don't mind the mess in the shop I am getting close to
a deadline for these chests and sweeping up is not high on the
list at the moment. :p
