    Default CarveTight

    Since the QC was a non-warranty item, it may be a moot point.
    You will notice that there is now an ad that markets LHR's "reconditioned" units with the new CT assembly included.

    My bet is that all new units will soon include the CT as well (with a slight cost increase). The ad, I saw, stated that they were currently out of new units.

Technically, I have never seen LHR say in any form that the OEM QC leads to any other issues. Many have had problems with it, many have not. MT for example had quite a few hours before upgrading with no issues with his QC.

    I think if LHR offered the Carve-Tight as a fix and issued a recall, they would be out of business with that kind of expense...

    Just my 2 cents..

    Not a recall, an upgrade. Think of a car... in any given model year (or between years of the same model) there may be many small changes made to the design, not as recalls but basic improvements. CW has done this already I think with many of the truck elements (wire protection, wire loom attachments and sensor upgrades? maybe a few other "fixes").

    That would make sense to me. Is there a way to match the unit you have with particular changes in the design? If I decide to buy used I'd like to be able to compare one used unit against another an know what I'm getting in terms of what changes LHR has made between them.

    www.magnate.net has it for $12.95.

    Excellent product!

    I heard about it when I bought my Legacy 900/CNC. Keep you router bits clean and sharp! Makes for better and easier cleanup after carvings.

    My guess is if you order a reconditioned unit from LHR it should have all the updates, any other unit in the pipe line will be as is depending on how long the unit has been out there.

    Right, so my question is when buying used from a private party, is there way to connect LHR model changes to the unit I'm looking at (through a model number, model year or serial number)?

    Another way to put it is, does anybody here have a running list by model number or production date of any little tweaks and changes LHR has made to improve the units over the years?

    LHR can help - they know what "generation" the machine is by the serial number, and IF it was ever sent in for repair, what was done.
