Re: FAT300 vs Others

Re: FAT300 vs Others
Jonathan, That is an unfair comparison. In USA a FAT300 without any top is nearly twice as expensive as a Vestil cart with a top and more lifting capacity. I would assume they would be closer in price

Re: FAT300 vs Others
Not sure on the US prize for a FAT300 but here in The Netherlands, even with VAT included with most expansive top and list price, a FAT 300 with the is still cheaper than the Vestil AIR-2000 w/o VAT.

Re: C3 31 Electrical problem
The crack came from the C3 31. At first I thought it was the mains fuse board ( as previously the board had been tripping a lot) but when I checked all the trip switches were in the correct position.

Re: C3 31 Electrical problem
If it is a single phase machine you could have popped the start/run capacitor. I recently experienced it on my band saw and it made smoke instead of sound. Are you getting breaking function? Usually
