I bought a Central Machinery 12" thickness planer on Sunday 8/10/17 parking lot tent sale. It was a display model and cost $178. It came with no box or manual. I took it home and immediately left town for work. Today 9/1/17 I down loaded the manual and began checking screws, bolts, blades for tightness before starting it up. I plugged it in, went to the switch to turn it on and the switch was gone. They sold a power tool that doesn't even work.
I took it back today and the mgr said it's been discontinued and he could give me a credit to get the new model that replaced it or call customer service to get the part. I called CS and the basically told me to pound sand, and they didn't have a part for it. They did give me a competitors name who has a similar product and part that would fit. So I ordered the part and now am waiting. I won't ever buy any other power tools from them any more
