Hi del
You'er welcome,,some will pickup one from ebay/craigslist and have it dropped shipped to the carvewright company and have it checked out and a tune up/updates installed..
Some sell them because they have run into errors and they don't read the manual over and over and the carvewright company have a great support team.....just incase, it's new type of machine for most woodworkers and it takes time to get it down right, how to use this great tool...and because it's computer type of tool it's not that easy to get all you can from the tool...
Some just give up and sell them or return them to Sears and they inturn sale them at a lower price also...after a tune up...with a warrenty....I spoke to a guy who got one from Sears for 1000.oo in the box...that's about 800.oo of the list price...so to say you may want to check with Sears also...plus if you can get the 5 year service plan you are safe (service plan is under the desk-top-tools plan ) sometimes they will say they don't have a service plan but you need to tell they do...I have one..
they will come to the shop and fix it for 5 years or replace it..I don't recall off the top of my head how much it was but I think it was about 160.oo bucks in total for 5 years,cheap insurance for a high end tool
