Damn........just read the post about the 20% off sale. I knew I needed to order another CC, but didn't get to it until 10am. I still got 10% off, the other 10% would have been nice though.
Didn't want to wait for the whole exchange process (still under Sears 90 day warranty), so I ordered another CC, and will ship my old one back to Sears (they pay for shipping). Flexshaft was getting hot, but I noticed the part between the flex-shaft and the chuck - don't know the proper name - was getting REALLY hot - too hot to even touch. Was a lot noisier too, seemed to have more vibration. Got a feeling the bearings are going to give up really soon. So hopefully it will last until my new one arrives, June 10th. Couldn't get it any sooner.
Oh well.......gives me another 90 day warrantied machine. Hmmmm, wonder if I keep returning every 80 or so days they'll catch on? Nah............. too much trouble to keep packing it up, bringing it to UPS, etc. Interesting thought just the same.
Guess I'll have to wear earplugs, so the noise of the bearings dying doesn't get to me, and make me want to put it out of its misery. Nope. Gonna cross my fingers and carve, let it cool, carve, let it cool, etc until the 10th of June.
