A really good time for free shipping
Posted: Tue Jul 04, 2017 10:08 pm
So I have my 520 table in drill press position and I pulled it out and set aside to mount the belt sander. So I left the belt sander on the machine for the last couple of days because I have a project that "needs" it.
Making a path for getting things in and out I wanted to move the table. Well and good, but later when I went to return it to the shop I guess my hand was tired or something. Anyway it slipped out of my fingers. Not that I was caring it very high off the ground, maybe an inch or two. So that part of the fall wasn't going to be damaging. However my reactions were a bit to slow and it tipped away from me. Now that was the bad part. One of the knobs that is in the rail to tighten the tubes hit enough to chip the plastic.
As far as I can see no real damage to the rest of the setup but I will check it out alignment wise before I use it. I'll try to do that tomorrow while the shipping is still free (through July 5, 2017). I hope it just the knob, just $1.49 but I'll get a spare.
Yes I could live with the chipped knob and if it were not for the free shipping I might just do that for a while until I had a decent list of things I want/need then order but in this case I don't have to wait.
Got any little bits and pieces you need now is sure the best time to get them as the free shipping doesn't happen very often anymore here at shopsmith.
