Big Inconveniece for those affected !
I just purchased a used M18..luckily it has a different graphite chassis but I had to laugh and chime in after reading the progression on these chassis posts..starting with denial, then absurd requests to spend countless hours and money finding deformed countersunk screws to fit defective countersunk holes, then "well maybe there is a problem" then rip your car apart and send us, the people who were not on top of control measures to begin with, the chassis and we'll tell ya what's what. Well get back to you on that one after we sharpen our bits??
..so where does the 'QUALITY CONROL" at the CNC milling place come in? After the product is released obviously. All those loose tolerances, screws, bit wear, material thickness etc.. are acceptable in somebodys basement shop making widgets but NOT a professional manufacturer. Wheres' the controls BEFORE the chassis is tooled? Dull bits? Who is responsible for that one
Measuring the material thickness...what no micrometers available?
Seems to me to be a real problem with the chassis and putting the responsibility on the customer to begin long searches for wierd deformed countersunk screws to fit defective holes is a "dust off". Why aren't there serial numbers on the chassis for tracking and in this case..RECALL. Sure someone will devise a home fix and find deformed countersunk screws in some obscure hardware store that fit better..but I personally don't have the time or patience to solve CNC manufacturing problems. Post the specs for the chassis here, let us measure and decide to send it back or not. Who wants to send thier chassis in for god knows how long to the same people who created the problem with no reference as to what the specs are. Did they finally find thier micrometers and sharpen thier dull bits? Human nature and "CYA" go hand in hand.
Let's see XRay step up to the plate and hit a home run and stop bunting!!!
