I am the type of person that I voice my complaints whenever I meet a substandard product or Service Support. Most often I go to the products Home Page and ask for help from the Company’s Support Service. By sending an email. Well, you guessed it, rarely do I receive a timely response or any response at all. This why I want to tell prospective Milescraft Product buyers that this company took the time to precisely answer my request within 24 hrs!!! There was a detailed instruction what I needed to do.
However, let be start from the arrival of this 1298 Pantograph. The price fantastic, they provide explicit Manual, Full set of helpful Stencils. The installation was straight forward. I required about 45 minutes to install it on a 4X8 X3/4″ plywood. The next day I was trying my first project. I’m 84 yrs old and the first SCRIPT “A” came out as though I’ve been using this Pantograph for many projects.
In summary: Price = 5*
Installation = 5*
Service support = 5*
Therefore, I highly recommend Milescraft anticipating the same attributes for all their products.
