RE: Tablesaw Choices - I went Minimax SC3 - Pondracer - 04-09-2018 Ooof.. I may have made a mistake. Its not listed on the SCM Group North American site, but its listed on their European site. https://www.scmgroup.com/en_US/scmwood/products/joinery-machines.c884/sliding-table-saws.896 versus https://www.scmgroup.com/en_GB/scmwood/products/joinery-machines.c884/sliding-table-saws.896 Maybe its just discontinued in the US, which would be good as I could still get parts. I will order the belts when I have some time and see if they will ship them from Europe. RE: Tablesaw Choices - I went Minimax SC3 - Pondracer - 05-02-2018 Follow up. I heard nothing from SCM Group and was ready to call the credit card company to say they missed the NLT 4/27/2018 date. Then on Tuesday 5/1 a box arrived on a pallet with parts. I have not had a chance to open it, but its rather humorous in a twisted way that they never bothered to ship when 70% of the parts were available, and they waited until 4/27 to ship. RE: Tablesaw Choices - I went Minimax SC3 - stav - 05-03-2018 I hope all your missing or damaged parts are in there. Now you will have to decide on keeping the Incra fence or using the stock one. RE: Tablesaw Choices - I went Minimax SC3 - Stwood_ - 05-03-2018 What a mess...... RE: Tablesaw Choices - I went Minimax SC3 - Bill Holt - 05-03-2018 This reads like a poor "sit-com"! Wouldn't guys love to see this go to court and we got to be on the jury? Yep, I'm a dreamer. RE: Tablesaw Choices - I went Minimax SC3 - measurecutcurse - 05-26-2018 the moral of this story seems to be that when ordering WW machines as a hobbyist, the more esoteric machines might not be the best choice. I don't see how anyone here faults your behavior in trying to make things right. Seems to me you've been more patient than I would have. keep updating the thread. RE: Tablesaw Choices - I went Minimax SC3 - UpstateNYdude - 11-06-2018 Sorry for getting here late as I picked up your thread from someone asking about SCM/Minimax machines. After reading this entire thing, all I can say is Pondracer you must be a true saint of a man, I'd have probably exploded from rage. I'm not an easy going guy at all and no one I know or have met would ever say I am. The fact that you remained any semblance of calm after their first response of "screw you" amazes me. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing that story and your ability to stay even relatively calm and rise above the whole thing, I learned a great deal about what to look for when purchasing things, even more so than just inspecting the crate. I hope that you've finally had a chance to use the machine in its intended arrival state and it works as well as you'd hoped. Again, thank you and good luck Nick.
