I have ordered a new 10K and it will be delivered Monday, September 16. I bought it on Amazon, of all places, because of free shipping, and at present, no Sales Tax. (This will be over soon)
Be assured I will be telling the World about my impressions of it. It is for my business, and it will work hard. If it lives up to the performance of the old ModA 9", or even approaches it, I'll be happy.
Yes, it's not made in South Bend, so it's On Probation. And, yes, for a couple of thousand less I could have bought on made Youknowwhere. But I SAW them in Wholesale Tools showroom.
No Thanks. Not for $8 a ton, not in my shop.
The one I bought was the last one Amazon had in stock, and they will have new stock as of today, so SOMEONE has been buying them..They are just not talking about it here, I guess.
Yes, retooling from 1-1/2-8 to D1-3 will be a pain because I have special fixtures I use for my products, but I have already started on that.
That Mod A I bought for $275.00 twenty years ago and rebuilt and refurbished has made more than a million dollars in products.
Anything I buy has some big footprints to walk in, and a lot to live up to. We'll see.
