| Hi,
I am interested in the Black and Dekker range of
hobby tools, these are called the Mini-craft range, I
have at present not bought or really seen them in the
flesh, but would like to hear comments on this range
from anyone who has used them.
In particular, the grinder and the bench saw.
thanks,
-Trev

| 1497.3 | Don't have the address, do have a drill! | BAHTAT::EATON_N | Nigel Eaton | Wed Mar 17 1993 09:59 | 12 |

I'm away from home at the moment, back next week. I have the address for Black &
Decker (UK) there, and I'll post it if no-one beats me to it.
I have a Mini craft drill, and I can't figure out how I ever did anything
without it! The things I have seen seem well up to snuff on quality, and
reasonably priced.
Cheers
Nigel

| 1497.4 | Well, I tried!! | BAHTAT::EATON_N | Nigel Eaton | Mon Mar 22 1993 13:44 | 13 |
| My Black&Decker drill doesn't have a contact address amongst it's literature!
(Great marketing guys!).
If you need to contact them in the UK, then most large towns have a B&D shop,
elsewhere, I'm afraid you're on your own.
Some companies are hard to do business with. (Now where have I heard that before
8^))
Cheers

| 1497.5 | Time to check out the service end of things | 3D::REITH | Jim 3D::Reith MLO1-2/c37 223-2021 | Tue Mar 30 1993 14:47 | 11 |
| I ran my Jarmac saw quite a bit over the weekend. I'm not sure what the
problem is but I overheated the saw and not it refuses to run at speed.
I only ran it continuously for 6-8 hours 8^). The service number is in
Illinois and they suggested sending either just the motor or the entire
saw back for quick service. I'll be sending the entire saw since I had
trouble realigning the motor/saw blade after breaking down the motor (a
small sewing machine motor) and cleaning out all the dust. They don't
offer a dust collection system but I'll be building a box for around the
base of mine with a vacuum connector for future use.
More as it develops

| Whilst rummaging through a LARGE, very disorganised pile of magazines in search
if more details on the "Backfire" (I'll get to it!), I came across the address
for the UK distributor of Minicraft tools:
Flair
Holdcroft Works
Blunsdon
Wilts.
Tel: 0793 - 721303
Fax: 0793 - 721841
No email! 8^)
Hope this helps.....

| I got my Jarmac saw back from service last night. One week from the day
I sent it out. No charge for the repair/realignment. I was honest about
having disassembled the motor for cleaning/inspection and told them I had
run it for about 8 hours continuous. I'm going to build a base to mount
it on with a vacuum cleaner connection to be run while in use. That should
keep the dust out of the motor.
