It comes with a tool to unscrew it, and let it go back into start position. It may not move by itself, just push it a little, not much effort required.

Ever heard of the saying... "you can dish it out... but you can't take it". Yep.... I get pissy... if I'm not treated with common respect. THAT IS ABSOLUTLY THE ONLY TIME I GET PISSY! BTW... you say your machine never really worked correctly. Well, for sure that means either the machines have a technical problem (which we gladly cover under warranty) OR <strong>IT'S THE OPERATOR!!!</strong> Our machines out perform others in so many ways! No shit! Before I started this industry in June 2004. The only choice was plasma cutters of a non-inverter design for at minimum $1500 for a 40amp. When people can't appreciate these facts... and act like they are owed more than what they bought... I get pissy!

The 200amp acdc and the 40/160 dv plasma tec. The 200acdc worked ok but that is it, just ok. It seemed to have an unstable arc as did the 40/160. I coulldn't count on these units operating the same 2 days in a row. I traded the 200acdc for a project vehicle. The 40/160 plasma tec broke down twice. The second time it broke I sent it back to Phil Sr. He said he would get it turned right aroung for me. He had it for 2 days and didn't know it was there. After 8 days it still hadn't been fixed and it took him a bit to find it. When I ask when will he get to it Phil got pissy and accused me of expecting too much. The flowmeters on both welders quit working very soon after being put into service. Phil told me that he wasn't going to warranty them, that I was being too nit picky. I told him that I simply expect new things to work. I wont ever buy another Parkermetalworking product again or deal with Phil Sr. That's why I bought a Miller diversion. I can't say it enough, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. The customer service that Phil tries to sell just isn't there. I bought 2 units from Parkermetalworking. The 200amp acdc and the 40/160 dv plasma tec.

I have been wokring with metal for quite some time, but have never purchased a band saw for my home garage. Was planning on buying name brand used, but with this positive review I think I might get one from HF. Really great info here.

We expect our customers to abide by the terms of our warranty and purchase agreement... just as they expect us to. That simple!!! The ONLY (I again say... ONLY) time I get "Pissy" is when people are uncooperative and show disrespect to me or my company. The reason I get "Pissy" is because anyone with a brain would understand and clearly see that we provide great service as it relates to the purchase of their machine. When people purchace a product from us... agree to the terms of the warranty and purchase agreement... and then try to move the goal-post in the middle of the game... THAT'S WHEN I GET "PISSY"!
