For those who own this model and similar ones....Have you had problems with the threads stripping out on the height adjustment? The female threads. I have owned this drum sander for three and a half years, it has stripped out twice. The second time, this past week, I was told the part containing the female threads has been discontinued. Hmmmm. Filled out the warrantee form, haven't heard back as to what they plan to do. Has anyone had this resolved recently? Since I absolutely love this tool (when the height adjustment works) I had a machinist friend install a threaded brass insert in it. Works like a dream! Was wondering what will be done with my warrantee? Any insights?
