Hi all,
Perhaps some of you might remember a few months ago when I was in the process of getting started with cabbing. I asked a lot of questions about trim saws and I picked the rock rascal model J.
Well it has been a few months (3 or 4) and I would like to give a quality update.
When the model J arrived it did so without any instructions, warranty paper work owners manual. Through the efforts of some of you and Kingsley North I was able to get that info.
The saw looked to be a well made (all metal construction) and simple in design. I would have been happier with a larger work table without a raised lip so as to be able to handle larger slabs.
I consider myself to be a light duty occasional user of this saw and am very disappointed in the quality of the finish and that of the power switch. The paint has lifted off of the work table and the plastic on/off in-line switch has crumbled as a result of vibration.
Other than these issues the saw is OK. I will call Dan at Kingsley and the manufacturer and see what happens. If they can send me a new power cable and work table in exchange for the broken/defective parts that would be OK. Otherwise I will pick up a new power cord/switch and a can of black paint at HD
