sears - with the extended warranty

[Hexe SA]

bought one at Sears and one from LHR via Red Woodshop. I had no trouble with the one from LHR. Can't say that about the Sears machine, but Sears was good on its warrenty (no extended warrenty available at that time). Both machines run great now thanks to LHR Tech Support. I have not called them in 9 month. Hope I didn't jinks myself.

I bought one at Sears and one from LHR via Little Red Woodshop. Had the 5 year Sears warranty, but cancelled it and sold the replacement when Sears couldn't fix my original machine. In all fairness, this was when Sears was still trying to figure out the machine.

I just dropped mine off at Sears Svc Center yesterday for it's annual "checkup" and a couple of things that I specifically request a look at (flexshaft and bit drilled hole in plastic next brass roller). Diane Coker said it usually takes 2-3 days if they have everything in stock that they find the machine needing. Wish me luck! Mentioned to them about the "lid modification" for my Dust Collector too. Even left in my Rock Chuck (with a bit). Let's see what happens................

Got my from ebay refur and now after reading all on this forum should have got mine from sears with the 5 yr. It is a sears machine tho. Where do you find the hours on the machine. You say Sears will service them. My sears here in Colorado Springs doesn't even sell the machine. hahha
