This is not a used machine.
If you read the description it would have been obvious that this is a scratch & dent sale, not a used machine, even though it is listed as such.
From the ad:
"It is warehouse cleaning time again! We gearing up and cleaning up for the upcoming holiday season. This machine was set aside this summer to repair some sheet metal damage. The pulley box housing was replaced along with the switch. The machine still does has some cosmetic scratches. (Please call us at 1-800-476-4849 if you would like more details.) This machine comes with our 30 Day in shop trial and our two year warranty, plus the Smithy Quick Start Tool Pack, valued at $541.76. See Listing Below).
It also includes a a stand valued at $299
Please note: Actual machine is not pictured. Picture shown is a representation of GN-1340R model."
I would think that a only a business would pay the high monthly importgenius fee to be able to check on the competition.
Since three out of four of you guys posting have admitted to owning a shoptask/shopmaster 3 in 1, and pretty much control the forum over there, what is the point of this thread.
More Smithy Bashing?
