    Customer service at Oneway

    I broke the eye bolt that holds the locking mechanism on the banjo this weekend on my 1018. You can tell it's made from tensil steel so I was just imagining how much this was going to cost me, especially since I bought the lathe used and they discontinued the 1018. Well I call them this morning and after telling them what happened they said it was covered under warranty and they would get one in the mail today, NO CHARGE. Said I should have it Thursday. This is definitely pushing my decision on my Upgrade to Oneway for sure. I'm also waiting to here back from a couple different guys who have a 2436 to possibly get rid of. If the price is right I've got to figure out how to fit one into a 12x16 building. It will be a while but I will have one of the rooms in the house to convert to the "lathe room". It's 15x28.
    Just wanted to mention the great service at Oneway.

    Yes. I bought a steady rest through Packards. Had a wheel out of round.
    Oneway sent one right out.

    The folks at Oneway are first class on all accounts. I go out of my way to come up with a reason to call and talk to them. Unfortunately their products are so good the opportunity seldom arises.

    And what's especially cool about that warranty being honored is that Brian's 1018 is five or six years old.

    I was the second owner; and he's the third.

    I've never heard even a hint of negativity about Oneway. I only have accessories but all are top notch.
    I could cry for the time I've wasted, but thats a waste of time and tears.

    Yep,
    I bet Andy did break it. But the cool thing is I get new parts for free. I wish he would've broke the frame, then maybe they would upgrade me for free since they don't make the 1018. Actually I think I tweaked it a little too hard awhile back making adjustments. It seemed a little loose when I would tighten the locking handle so I tweaked the nut on the bottom. No complaints here. Brian

    Pump enough Moxie into Andy, and He could accomplish most anything.

    I have done a bunch of business with them in the last few weeks and they are wonderful. Kimberly has a great sense of humor.
