    He's Trying To Bring It On

    I had a new neighbour move in across the street. I saw him setting up his shop so I figured I would wander over to introduce myself. We got talking about our shops and tools and I mentioned how I owned a BT 3100. Well that's when the trouble started. He tried to tell me how his Delta QT-10 was far better. I left before he said too much but there might be a storm brewing. So who's got my back?

      A simple test is to see which saw turns out better work. It might have something to do with the operator. But don't move to another neighborhood just yet. I'll back ya up.

          All you have to do is ask him if there's a "QT10central.com" website. Case closed.

            I was offered a Walker-Turner industrial saw last night, but turned it down because it wasn't a BT 3100. NOT.

              I moved into a new neighborhood a few years ago and one of my neighbors came over to introduce himself. He saw all of my Craftsman toold (14" Band Saw, Belt Snader, Radial Arm Saw and Router Table) and continues to tell me how Craftsman are junk and DeWalt is a much better brand. This went on for some time that evening and I fianlly asked, so what DeWalt tools do you own and the answer was "Oh, I don't have any tools, I just use my dad's if I need the". That was the end of that... I know Craftsman aren't the best ools around, but I bought most of them at a younger age and they seem to do a pretty good job. Now, if I can just find blades that fit the 14 inch band saw.

              Oh, and it looks like this was brought up before. A quick google search for Delta QT-10 gave me this link: http://www.groupsrv.com/hobby/about155416.html

              Long story short, I know how you feel and will back you as well.

                You need to stand in your shop and yell across the street "IT'S ON LIKE DONKEY KONG!" add some Samuel L. Jackson language to it as needed to escalate the situation.

                  I'd wander on back over with a beer for him and just agree to disagree.

                          Or you could give us his snail-mail address and we all could sign him up for mail from the handyman club......

                              Are you saying their business went down the toilet?
