Anyone else here not a huge fan of woodcraft?

I LIKE the people in the Woodcraft store. I just don't like some of the cheap products they sell. I even bought a SawStop from them,as well as a 18" Jet bandsaw(Which I later GAVE AWAY to the Millwork Shop in the museum.) Silly thing was VERY flexible unless all 4 feet were tight against the floor. If I leaned on the upper housing a LITTLE,the blade would come 1/4" out of the guides. The guides were those obnoxious European type,where it is a HUGE pain to try to lubricate the lower guide bearings. Plus,they just seemed in my way all the time. I wasted more money on Carter bearings and still just could not do the quality of work I could do with the old,but excellent 20" Delta we had for many years.

But,these things are not Woodcraft's fault.They have to sell what they can get. And,if they bought higher end machinery,likely no one could afford it.
