Customer Support from Safety Speed regarding a 15yr old panel saw (both American and Euro branches) I have 40+ shop hrs learning to set up a 2002 ES5 properly. I hate being ignorant on equipment, but I had to learn the good ol' fashioned way. It now cuts to .002 precision and I have the gray hairs to prove it.
Everything else I have I make work.

My first HVLP sprayer was an inexpensive conversion touch-up gun I bought last winter from that humongous online retail site after seeing a positive review of it here. The Creeker who recommended it is clearly happy with his, but at a selling price of about $35, there have to be some lemons, and mine was. It never saw a real project. I replaced it almost immediately with a full-size conversion sprayer from Homestead.

Umm, I suspect you'll get some argument from the local powermatic fans - there seem to be a lot of them here although, personally, I think it's largely because the paint subconsciously influences everyone who's had the pleasure of getting real mustard on a real hot dog at a ball game..
Inadequate for commercial use is the best way to sum it up. Those pieces have been replaced with SAC, SCMi, Format4, Northfield and Tannewitz.
To be fair, I still have a 6" Grizzlymatic jointer, and a mid 90's 66 that is fairly smooth, but neither are workhorses and live pretty easy lives.
Harbor freight scroll saw was pretty bad, I knew it was a gamble going in though. Bosch bench top router table, that one might be my fault not learning to use it right.
Mine was a Wagner airless sprayer never could get it to produce a nice spray drips and splatters.
I have been very lucky. Early on I used forums like this to get actual owners input and opinions. Still, despite many warnings I bought a 6" benchtop jointer . . . I was going to be the exception that proved the rule, right? Wrong!

I agree. Replaced it with a mortiser and a handsaw.
Oops, while trying to fix it, i deleted it! I was referring to the FMT. I replaced it with a tennon saw, and a mortiser.
