Does this product have the same defect as the other C&amp;M (the Derwent Precision Gourmet Mill) --- the broken top?

I'm not sure what you're referring to. I love these mills, and they're very sturdily built. I would definitely buy them again.

Same think happened to me. The problem is the top is not affixed and for some reason the stuff you need is missing. Contact customer service and they will send you a new . It seems this a ongoing problem.

I did not have that problem when I got my mill last Christmas. I would contact the seller and ask for an exchange. Food products & chemical odors don't mix. We have been very happy with our mill. I imagine they will exchange it.

Did not encounter anything at all like that. I gave it to my wife as a gift, and she said that it was perfect. Will the company replace it for you since it sounds like there was problem in the manufacturing?

MY issues with the new saw were the paint on the table top scratching too easy. I had my table powder coated and that solved that issue. I also had trouble with the lower blade clamp not holding blades. After several discussions with the manufacturer, I was told I was tightening the knob to tight and causing the clamp housing to bend (?) I had a machinist make me a lower blade clamp out of good steel and that fixed the problem.

Yes. I too had a faulty unit; the cutomer sercive is OK, but damaged wood slats and ratchet assembly. Weston sent replacement slats (1/2 drum), but it was used, it has a varnish/coating on the wood I will have to sand off.

I have turned over 1000 bowls on this lathe and I have not discovered any "defects". It has worked well. I have two other lathes so I have a good comparison. I would prefer the lathe to have a bigger swing so I could turn larger bowls, but that is not a defect.

I found all my runout (more than you) to be in the spindle. I emailed WEN customer support and they are sending me a new spindle. I hope that swapping it out will get me the results many others have had. I have many MT#2 tapers and chucks that all run true, so if the spindle is correct, everything else should fall into place.

Maybe you have a bad filter. Call their 800 number or email them on their website. I broke the top and they replaced it for free. I have not had any issue with taste. Did u measure it with supplied tester?

Mine has a 1 year limited warranty. I had a piece missing on mine on the bottom corner, so it does not stay even not he counter. The only way I can get it replaced or fixed is to drive a long way to one of THEIR shops. So if you have any problems, I would check to see if you live close to one of the businesses that fix this brand. I would not buy this again.

Yes I have. No success fixing it. Also had the handle break off. Haven't been able to get through to manufacturer after many attempts. Sorry, I can't help

...sort of. When I got this lathe new, the speed control knob was loose and most often didn't function. Opening up the control box, I found a piece was broken. While under warranty, I didn't want to mess with it and tried to order a replacement. After 6 or 7 attempts and getting shuffled around, I was finally told they didn't have any stock and didn't expect any. I used epoxy to fix it and haven't had a problem since. I've also had no failures since so I can't comment on personal experience lately but over on Sawmillcreek.org, there are lots of complaints regarding parts for all Delta woodworking tools. ...sort of.

No, none over all it's great. However as noted in the earlier post I am only using the top piece, the bottom was defective and repeated contact to the company got no response. The top piece is great, feels great, I could have just received the 1 in 1000 crappy bottom part that miss QC.

No, it's broken :( Ours did not weather well at all and has been tossed out. If you reorder go with a better product.

Mine is the same way. I checked some of the the more expensive blenders at the store and they are identical.

Mine was cracked too...and the red handle was missing. I didn't even realize it was missing until I got a larger one later. You might return it but mine works fine and the crack never got worse.
