excalibur scroll saw

[sadsack11]

A warning to Australians.
These models are made by a different manufacturer to the American models.
There is a problem with the variable speed card. Carbatec knows about the problemand have asked the manufacturer to fix the problem but they have refused.
I bought one in october, now I have to ship it back to carbatec to have the variable speed fixed. They will pay for the repairs but not the shipping.
It seems a bit insane to me that they know about the problem but still sell them asis.
It would have been a lot simpler to repair the problem before selling them.

Hmm, I just bought a 2nd hand carbatec saw with a non-functioning variable speed control, maybe this is why? (was the only one I could get, not enough moolah for a new one) Not sure what model this is but it's a 16" pinned blade model
