New Hammer N440 or Used/like new Minimax S45N


 

Yea Derek, I'm OK with the flaw. It happens with castings. Like anything else in life, it's how it's handled. It's the argument over warranty, being told that my machine was out of warranty because it's build date was 2022, and the fact that I still haven't heard back on the issue. Worse than the walnut it ruined when it broke, now my arm match isn't what I planned, and that's really irritating me.

My fence also swung into position, which is really a poor design in 2024. For those now wanting to blame me for the breakage, tightening it was to the point where that stopped, then kipped.?

Since I've already ordered a driftmaster, and for the time being I'm stuck using a 14" bandsaw, I'll probably also have to talk to the state AG about warranty representation. That's one call. The other will be to my rep, to tell him to lose my contact information. They've gotten two tools out of me, but have lost any further relationship at this point, all for $170. Which, at this point I've spent more out of pocket, and I've got machinery sitting around doing nothing. Shame, I like sending money to home-adjacent. However at this point I don't trust Felder US or AT. Saftladen.

FWIW, I happen to speak with the guy running Felder service dept and he confirmed that warranty starts from the time machine is received.

Hi Mike,

?

Did this sit in Felder warehouse due to your request or it was just new old stock. In case latter is true, I think you have a strong case. I would also factor in how much of a break in price did you receive. A compromise should be arrived at considering all these factors.

This is a bit late, but perhaps it'll help someone else make a decision in future. I have an N4400 that in the few months I've owned it has been fine. Except that the fence head casting cracked and felder seems to date their warranty from build date. Since this thing sat in their warehouses for two years before it was shipped to me, I'm having to argue about warranty coverage. Long story short, buy used as it doesn't seem to matter. Also, the replacement part is over half the cost of a driftmaster.

What a juice-shop this outfit is.
