New lathe arrived today : The ongoing saga
Posted by Brian John on 04/08/2017 12:16:26: I found out today while in Coles Air Tools that they are an agent/distributor for Optimum lathes and mills. What SHOULD have happened when I ordered my lathe from Brisbane is that they should have immediately directed me to call Coles Air Tools to place the order. Had that happened, then none of this nonsense would ever have occurred. I would have just taken it back to the shop here in Cairns after the initial problems became evident and they would have sorted it out very quickly.....it is so frustrating to find this out now !
