PARKER METALWORKING PRODUCTS   ABOUT US… (IMPORTANT READING… NOT JUST BLA… BLA… BLA) WE ARE THE FIRST TO OFFER THESE MACHINES IN THE USA (June 2004) WE ARE A COMPLETE REPAIR FACILITY, NOT JUST A MERCHANT THAT PROMISES TO PROVIDE PROPER TECHNICAL SUPPORT, BUT ARE ACTUALLY TECHNICALLY CAPABLE. WE IMPORT OUR MACHINES FROM A SPECIFIC FACTORY THAT COMPLIES WITH THE NECESSARY TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS. ONCE WE HAVE THE BASE MACHINES, WE PERFORM OUR OWN TECHNICAL MODIFICATIONS TO ENHANCE PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY. (WE HAVE SAMPLED MACHINES FROM THE SAME SUPPLIERS THE GENERAL MERCHANTS ARE SELLING AND HAVE DISCOVERED TECHNICAL ISSUES THAT CAN AFFECT PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY). (TIP DESIGN (CUT40, CUT50, CT416), MECHANICALLY FAILING FANS, (CUT40, CT50, CT312, CT416, CT518) AIR SOLENOID DRIVER CIRCUIT FAILURE (CUT30, CUT40, CUT50, CT312, CT416, OTHER ISSUES. THESE TECHNICAL PROBLEMS DO NOT OCCUR WITH OUR MACHINES. (I WILL NOT BE SPECIFIC AS I DO NOT WANT TO HELP THE PRODUCT DUMPERS AND GENERAL MERCHANTS PEDDLING POOR QUALITY JUST TRYING TO SNAG YOUR $) WE PROVIDE A 1 YEAR LABOR, 1 YEAR MECHANICAL PARTS, 3 YEARS ELECTRONIC PARTS WARRANTY… AND HANDLE REPAIRS HERE IN THE USA. WE PROVIDE TOLL-FREE TECHNICAL SUPPORT 888.281.2820 AND ACTUALLY ANSWER THE PHONE. YOU TALK DIRECTLY WITH A TECHNICIAN, NOT A GIRL AT A DESK… THAT SAYS SOMETHING LIKE… “HE’S IN A MEETING… DO YOU WANT TO LEAVE A MESSAGE”) WE DO NOT SPEW TECHNO-BABBLE LIKE SOME MERCHANTS HAVE STARTED DOING… LIKE CLAIMING ONLY TOSHIBA TRANSISTORS HAVE TO BE USED… OR GERMAN COOLING SYSTEM (IT’S JUST A FAN DUDE)… AND MAKE OTHER NONSENSE CLAIMS TO PUFF UP THE IMPRESSION OF VALUE. DON’T FALL FOR IT! WE HAVE BEEN IMPORTING AND SELLING MACHINES, SINCE JUNE 2004… ALMOST 4 YEARS!! ALL  OF THE OTHER CURRENT SELLERS, EXCEPT ONE, HAS BEEN HERE LESS THAN A YEAR. ALSO MANY HAVE COME & GONE. I WONDER WHAT THEIR CUSTOMERS ARE DOING ABOUT SUPPORT. (BTW… CALL US… WE CAN REPAIR YOUR MACHINE, PARKERIZE IT AND PROVIDE YOU WITH A 1 YEAR LABOR, 3 YEAR ELECTRONIC WARRANTY) READ OUR FEEDBACK… AND NOTE HOW LONG WE’VE BEEN HERE… SELLING ONLY MACHINES (NOT TRINKETS, ETC) DUE TO THESE “PRODUCT DUMPERS” THAT HAVE COME OVER HERE FROM CHINA AND THE GENERAL MERCHANTS JUST TRYING TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK… THE MARKET FOR THESE MACHINES IS SUFFERING. IF IT CONTINUES, ALL YOU’LL BE ABLE TO BUY IS POOR QUALITY FROM THE “QUICK-$-GUYS” WHICH EVENTUALLY WILL BEAT EACH OTHER TO A POINT OF NO PROFIT… THEN THEY’RE GONE AND YOU’RE LEFT HANGING. NICE BOAT ANCHOR… BUD! THINK BEFORE YOU BUY… IT'S NOVICE LOGIC TO INSIST ON BUYING AT THE LOWEST PRICE WITH NO REGARD TO THE FUTURE… AND FORFEIT THE VALUE OF REAL (NOT JUST PROMISED) TECHNICAL SUPPORT. HEY… THESE MACHINES ARE HIGH TECH ELECTRONICS. FAILURE CAN HAPPEN… HENCE THE WARRANTY! HELL… AIRCRAFT HAVE REDUNDANT SYSTEMS JUST FOR THAT REASON. SO… IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS, YOU WANT SERVICE, NOT JUST PROMISES! ALWAYS BUY FROM A TECHNICALLY QUALIFIED SELLER!!! COMMON SENSE!  (THE EXCHANGE POLICY WORKS, BUT IT IS EXPENSIVE IF THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN FIXED WITH A TECH SUPPORT PHONE CALL. ALSO THE EXCHANGE POLICY ONLY WORKS IF THE MERCHANT REMAINS IN BUSINESS. THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE. NOT ONE PAST MERCHANT HAS STAYED MORE THAN A YEAR. THEY GO AWAY WHEN THE FEEDBACK GETS NEGATIVE.   THE FACTS ABOUT ALL THESE MACHINES… I SUSPECT THAT MOST OF YOU DO NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND THE RELATIVE VALUE OF THE DESIGN OF THESE MACHINES. I’LL EXPLAIN. THESE MACHINES (INCLUDING THE COPIES OF COPIES BEING SOLD… NO MATTER WHAT NAME OR LABEL THEY HAVE) ARE VIRTUALLY EXACTLY THE SAME! (DISCOUNTING TECHNICALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES… FACTORY SECOND PARTS, POOR CONSTRUCTION, POOR ADJUSTMENT AND THE LIKE)   THE “MAGIC” HAPPENS BY USING INVERTER TECHNOLOGY (WHICH IS CLASSIC ELECTRONICS BTW) INSTEAD OF TRANSFORMER BASED DESIGNS. THE KEY WORD HERE IS EFFICIENCY! REAL WORLD POSITIVES ARE… MUCH SMALLER SIZE, MUCH LOWER WEIGHT, MUCH LESS INPUT CURRENT DRAW… COMPAIRED TO THE NON-INVERTER DESIGNS.   THESE MACHINES… EVEN IF THEY ARE FROM CHINA… PERFORM AS GOOD OR  BETTER…YES I SAID BETTER… (IF PROPERLY BUILT) THAN MILLER, HYPERTHERM, THERMAL-DYMANICS, ETC MACHINES OF THE SAME RATING. THE “BRAND-NAMED” MACHINES ARE A HELL OF A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE, WEIGH ABOUT THREE TIME AS MUCH, ABOUT FOUR TIMES THE SIZE, ETC.   THEY ARE JUST AS RELIABLE! (AGAIN… IF BUILD PROPERLY) I’M SURE SOME WILL RESIST ACCEPTING THAT STATEMENT. BUT, IT’S TRUE! HEY… WHERE DO YOU THINK THE “BIG BOY” BRANDS GET THEIR PARTS? YEP… CHINA! (BTW… I FOUND THE FOOT-PEDAL WE SELL WITH A MILLER LABLE ON IT IN A PHOTO IN A COLLEGE WELDING BOOK. SO MUCH FOR MADE IN USA). BUT, YOU REALLY KNEW THAT… DIDN’T YOU?   CHINESE PRODUCTS ARE FINE IF (A BIG IF HERE) ONE KNOWS HOW TO DEMAND AND RECEIVE QUALITY!!! THAT IS A BIG ISSUE! CHINA IS DIFFERENT. THEY ALLOW HUNDREDS OF BUSINESSES TO “BUILD” AS IN ASSEMBLE, THESE MACHINES. SO QUALITY IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. ALTHOUGH THEY ALL VIRTUALLY LOOK THE SAME… THEY CAN BE VERY DIFFERENT IN SOME TECHNICALLY SIGNIFICANT WAYS… AND QUALITY OF CONSTRUCTION IS A BIG ISSUE!   SO… NOW YOU CAN  R E A L I Z E  JUST WHAT VALUE YOU HAVE! NO NEED TO PAY $1500 - $2000 FOR A 40AMP MILLER, ETC. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE CASE 4 YEARS AGO.   THE ADAGE “YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR” DOES  NOT  APPLY HERE!  THESE MACHINES ARE WORTH SO MUCH MORE THAT WHAT THEIR BEING SOLD FOR. (AGAIN… ASSUMING QUALITY ISN’T AN ISSUE)   WHEN I STARTED IN 2004 I WAS SELLING THE CUT40 FOR $875 AND I HAD TONS OF PEOPLE ASKING WHY SO CHEAP. MOST BUYERS WERE PRO-WELDER GUYS. EVERY ONE OF THEM WAS BLOWN AWAY WITH THE PERFORMANCE/SIZE VRS PRICE!   HELL… I’M SURE THE GENERAL MERCHANTS THAT ARE SELLING THESE DO NOT REALIZE THE SIGNIFICANTS OF WHAT I’VE JUST STATED. TO THEM IT’S JUST A MACHINE THAT DOES SOMETHING "PURDY"! IT’S JUST AN ITEM FOR THEM TO MAKE $ ON. THEY CAN’T APPRECIATE THE SIGNIFICANTS OF THE PRICE VS. PERFORMANCE LIKE YOU (WE) CAN.   DON’T VISIT THE LAND JUST NORTH OF SCAMMING! REALIZE SAVING $50 - $100 UP FRONT CAN COST YOU A HELL OF A LOT IN THE FUTURE. IT’S IS JUST POOR JUDGMENT TO PLACE INAPPROPRIATE VALUE ON “THE LOWEST PRICE”. HELL THESE MACHINES ARE WORTH A HELL OF A LOT MORE IN CONSIDERATION. IT’S COOL TO GET A “GOOD DEAL”… BUT VALUE IS ANOTHER MATTER. YOU WANT VALUE!!!   OK… DECISION TIME! EITHER BUY AT THE ABSOLUTLY LOWEST PRICE FROM A “PRODUCT DUMPER” OR TECHNICALLY UNQUALIFIED GENERAL MERCHANT AND GET A MACHINE THAT LOOKS LIKE OURS BUT MAY NOT PERFORM “PROPERLY” (How would you know? Hmmm. tO MOST GETTING THOUGH ¼” IS AMAZING… BUT YOU PAID FOR 3/4”), POOR “CLAIMED” WARRANTY (BTW… 1 YEAR MANUFACTURE WARRANTY MEANS, SHIP BACK TO CHINA FOR REPAIR)… OR PAY A BIT MORE (STILL A  H E L L  OF A GOOD PRICE) AND GET VALUE!  (GREAT PROPER PERFORMANCE, GREAT 1/1/3 YEAR WARRANTY, GREAT TOLL-FREE TECHNICAL SUPPORT… HELL WE’RE JUST GREAT!

(Note! This policy applies only to Domestic Shipments within USA proper and is for our customers benefit!) Transport: Flat Rate Domestic Shipping (Domestic Normalized) = $55 Preparation: Pre-shipment testing, adjustment, modification and performance confirmation. = $20 Handling: Order fulfillment processing and... packaging to attempt to make the shipment UPS proof! = $10 Shipping Damage Insurance: Shipping insurance to cover cost of repair/replacement due to damage during transport  caused by the shipping company... UPS, Fedex, DHL, etc. = $10 (Note! If insurance is bought from UPS and your machine arrives DOA... expect to wait 30 days+ for payment... assuming they decide to pay the claim. That is why we decided to provide insurance coverage ourselves. It's to benefit our customers!) (NOTE: In the rare event that your machine arrives DOA (Dead On Arrival) Parker Metalworking Products will repair/replace the machine at no charge and will pay the shipping charges both ways within 7 days of receipt of your machine. (Your machine MUST be tested within 7 days of receipt in order for us to pay shipping both ways!)  ***You MUST call for an RA number. We will refuse any return/package WITHOUT an RA number.*** (We cover shipping damage so you get your machine repaired/replaced without having to wait for UPS to pay-up for any damage they cause during transport.) Note: For those that want to risk it... we can deduct the insurance charge of $10. IF you choose this option your machine will only be covered for electronic failure and not covered against physical damage that may be caused during transport... i.e. DOA! Our 1/1/3 year warranty covers against mechanical and electronic failure... but does not provide coverage against physical damage. Since your machine is tested just prior to shipping... we know that if your machine arrives DOA... it must have been caused by inertia/shock shipping damage... even if no visible damage is detectable. We have much experience regarding this type of damage... unfortunately! NOTICE! Customer will be required to pay all shipping charges anytime AFTER 7 days of receiving machine. WARRANTY does not cover shipping. REFUND ABUSE! ALL SALES FINAL!   We’re SERIOUS about providing GREAT machines at GREAT prices to give our customers GREAT value!   If your thinking about buying one of our machines… and think you can just use (“misuse”) the credit card “protection” system to buy the machine… play with it for awhile and then create some false claim to get the credit card company to force a refund… then please buy from the “Product Dumpers” or “General Merchants” as we only want serious customers that can appreciate what we provide.   Since we have a GREAT 1 year labor, 1 year mechanical parts, 3 years electronic parts warranty that we HONOR religiously plus toll-free technical support by phone there is virtually NO REASON for the customer to pursue a refund/chargeback. Unless of course it is planned! The credit card companies have done their own system an injustice by PROMOTING the claim that a person can buy something and be assured of refund simply when “the new” wears off. This refund system was/is intended to protect the buyer from fraudulent sellers. But… as usual… some people are abusing that system.   So… to those that intend to abuse the cardholder protection system… move on! Do not buy from us! Actually… since this document clearly states that we do not provide refunds and all sales are final… go ahead and purchase… because by us providing this statement it is considered as a term of sale and as such we are now protected against those unscrupulous cardholders that would attempt to play that game of "buy, play, return, refund".   IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THIS MACHINE WILL PERFORM AS ADVERTISED (AS INDICATED BY ALL THE 100’S OF POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS) AND/OR DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE TERM OF “ALL SALES FINAL” AND/OR THAT WE DO NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS AND/OR DO NOT AGREE WITH OUR STATED POLICIES… THEN I POLITELY ASK YOU NOT TO PURCHASE OUR PRODUCTS.   WE EXPECT OF OUR CUSTOMERS AS THEY EXPECT OF US… AND THAT IS TO RESPECT THE TERMS OF THE SALE AND WARRANTY.   Parker Metalworking Products – Diversified Technology On Mar-30-08 at 11:43:00 PDT, seller added the following information: FACT: Parker Metalworking Products and only one other seller here on ebay have been here for more than three years. All other sellers here are relatively new. History suggests they last until the negative feedback starts, or the get booted off by ebay for making unsubstantiated claims. There have been many that have come, gone, and often come back under a different user id. Clues are... 99 cent auctions, poor quality photos, improper grammar (sounds foreign), content loaded with "Techno-Babble", no local pickup allowed, etc. These sellers have only one thing that causes interest... Lowest Price! That's all they can offer that is real. Ask yourself... would you buy it at their price if they said AS-IS! If the answer is NO... then DON'T BUY IT!!! *** TO THOSE SELLERS THAT WOULD COPY MY CONTENT, POLICIES, ETC.     ---- DON'T!... I'M FED-UP WITH THAT LOW CLASS BEHAVIOR... AND WILL PURSUE LEGAL REMEDY! EVEN IF I HAVE LITTLE CHANCE OF WINNING! DO NOT COPY ME! *** (C) 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 DIVERSIFIED TECHNOLOGY - PARKER METALWORKING PRODUCTS Place a Bid!
