Just IN- PCNC Automation - Another VERY bad experience

[mmcclung]

Please read about my bad experience and keep shopping if you are looking for a machine!
I purchased a 24" X 36" PCNC Automation router from Bill Johnson in Sept 2009. After picking it up from the "garage" headquarters in Vevay, IN in Oct 2009, I had one problem after another with it. Turns out the side plates that hold up the gantry were drilled about 3/16" off from one another. The bed tapered by that amount after surfacing. All drive pulleys were bored .017" oversize which caused "chatter marks" on all work pieces. There were also missing hardware, stripped fasteners, loose wires, etc. Bill admitted I got a lemon machine and said I could return it for repair, replacement, or full credit. After seeing that the replacement machine was in worse shape than mine, I elected for a refund. That was Nov 10th, 2009. Since then his phone has been disconnected, his girlfriend will no longer pick up when she sees that I am calling, and not one email has been responded to. As of today, I am out $3000.00. I certainly wish I had never seen his ad on this site and on the Vectric site.
