I am not sure what to do. I was ecstatic when my wife called me at work today to tell me that my new 6" delta jointer was arriving today via freight. I almost didn't buy it since I am over-budget on tools, but when they threw in the mobile base for a total of 313.79 after rebate I couldnt resist. (I will be eating PB&J for lunch for the next several months to make up for it)
I get home and unpack and start the setup. When I hoisted the bed onto the stand I noticed the problem below. Its a cosmetic problem, but it still bothers me. The infeed of the jointer has a chip in the cast iron. I see 2 options:
1. Deal with it
2. Call Amazon and tell them, and see what they will do about it
anyone have any opinions on this?
I dont really want to return it since its really a small problem, but Its bugging me that the most expensive tool I own came damaged.
