I see no where that Marketing has done anything that warrants criticism.

Yes you did and I think inappropriately.
I quite frankly do not believe there was any mis-information.
100% agree that had the literature been clear and precise there would be no confusion. IMO the literature was/is non-existent. Because of that, and the name chosen for the upgrade, there was speculation among the forum members that the upgrade might not include an impeller and therefore would not yield significant airflow improvement. Adding to the problem, we received conflicting and unclear answers from SS CS on the inclusion of an impeller. I was told when I called that the upgrade package did not have an impeller/fan nor a housing and I shared that misinformation here. Others were told that 'it' did include an impeller but the answers were vague as to whether 'it' was the upgrade, a DC-6000, or both. Since that conflicted with what I had been told, some of us believed that answer applied to the DC-6000 and not the upgrade.dusty wrote: ↑Sat Jul 03, 2021 8:21 amI quite frankly do not believe there was any mis-information.
There were statements made, not by Shopsmith but by some of us, that were either taken out of context or misunderstood (including myself). Throughout this discourse there have been references to the DC-3300 when they should have been to the DC-3300 1 1/1/2 HP Motor Upgrade Kit and/or vice versa that caused much of the confusion.
Some of this confusion will continue into the future when there are DC-3300s in the field, some with and others without the Upgrade Kit.
Bottom Line: The reader has some responsibility for proper interpretation and understanding of what the writer intended. in some cases we did not do that.
I don't have a ship date yet but I can hardly wait. I can hardly wait to see your pictures too. I am most interested in a picture of the Turbo Fan. This is where the work is done.ssuel wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 11:50 am David,
My DC3300 upgrade is scheduled to arrive mid to late this week according to tracking info. I am a novice using this forum. I used to be on Facebook more but I moved off that platform and trying to use this one more. Not too sure how to upload pics but I’ll try to figure it out when it arrives later this week
Thanks
