I'm in the process of installing mine; when I'm finished you will be welcome to mine. I did see another post showing the part number. In the interest of time you may just wish to have them send you a new one for $20,

Re: powerpro install drill guide
Shopsmith is out of stock for these at the present time. Waiting on email. I appreciate your offer and if I cannot get one I will contact you back. Thanks again.
Re: powerpro install drill guide
I have been on the phone, sent emails and still no reply on when shopsmith can provide the drill guide. I have been promised several times by their customer service that they would contact me with a date of shipping several times but no reply at all email or otherwise. It has been 6 weeks now and still waiting. So if your offer still stands I would appreciate your drill guide when you are done with it.

Ridiculous and piss poor customer service.

Re: powerpro install drill guide
They have the poorest excuse for customer service I have dealt with. I have never gotten a response from them at any time I contact them. This time it has been really frustrating. I recently went to a demo at a local Lowes and was extremely disappointed. The rep was just going through the motions and as for customer repoire there was none. Kind of this is what it is. Can I go on break now attitude. I was ready to place an order before I got there but walked out having had the poorest demo and talk I ever have experienced. As for demo discount there was none.

Did you call and talk to an actual person? Other modes are not likely to be effective.jmarczew wrote:They have the poorest excuse for customer service I have dealt with.

Lotta 'new' employees lately with zero experienjce with the 'product' especially older versions. Not an excuse, but sadly tis reality.

Re: powerpro install drill guide
I'd like to here more about the demo.
Who was the presenter?
Was it at a Lowe's or Woodcraft?
I go to one or two demos every year and they always have discounts so this seems strange to me. Perhaps some misunderstanding or a new "no discount" sale??? Stranger things have happened.
While they push the new product I've ordered other things with a discount so at least in the past it was still cheaper then ordering from the company's web site. If you are a vet and signed up with the mylowe's Card that gets you another 10% off. They also offer some other deals if you use your Lowe's credit card.
