Just picked up my Porter-Cable 1410. Haven't even plugged it in yet as there are drops of oil on the base. A call to customer service didn't result with much other than that there is no oil, only grease used on it and recommending that maybe should I return it for another.
I did come across a review where someone received 2 1410s and both had drops of oil on them. My question, is this really a problem or perhaps just a lubricant coating used as a protectant (my spell check says this isn't a word so forgive me) for packaging etc.
So how many of you that have a 1410 have noticed this and any opinions you have of this.
And as for you Ernie. Due to your enthusiasm, I've already dropped almost 5 bills on a dry cut and will probably add another 17 on a Thermal Arc. Money that could be used for like.. food.. and stuff. Will you stop being so enthusiastic about stuff. Some of us are very impressionable you know. And just in case you were thinking, no I'm not interested in any land you may be trying to sell in Florida.
