Thread: the insidevoice is back . to help!

Well it looks like you have passed the "thick skin" test.

I hope that you are treated a little more kindly this time around.

Welcome back Inside.

To the lot of you!!! Any and I mean any unreasonable attacks will be deleted.

A company will only improve with feed back and that is what is being asked.

You have a chance to improve some equipment and make a difference.

You would be surprised at how many manufacturers watch this board and some will not post because of the debacle on the last thread about GMC.

So like I said: Behave.

I like my GMC stuff. It often makes the difference between doing woodwork and just thinking about it. I hope you treat your contractors (or whatever) well. After the Chinese government's recent comments on the Tianenmen (sp?) Square massacre, the mooted FTA sounds less attractive than ever.

(Sorry to politicise this, but money talks, you know?)

Anyway, glad to see you back, TIV, it's still a free country, in a user-pays sort of way...(not directed at present company...okay, I'm going...)

I think some of the crap posted last time was pretty ordinary. As long as you are who you say you are then I'm happy to be kept informed.

I'm also happy with my GMC stuff.
Better to have many good value for money tools than 1 or 2 bits of overpriced crap.

Welcome back and sorry if you were offended by any of us before.
Most of my hand held power tools are Makita and that is because I know I can rely on them for quality, accuracy and ease of use.
I do however, use GMC for tools I see myself using little or where accuracy is not a huge issue, ie, my GMC biscuit joiner( $90 V Makita $400).
Then again I do have two GMC routers which I love and they are awesome. I was recently asked whether I preferred my Makita router or the GMC's, the answer is neither, I love them all and they are suited to different applications (fixed base V plunge). The GMC cost me $40 and I do prefer it over the $400 bumblebee coloured one!

I think you guys make some of the best tools at the cheaper end of the market and need to keep on doing so. You also provide good warranty service and the satisfaction guarantee is great.

Is there any possibility you could upgrade the standards of your bearings as I think this is the only thing dragging GMC down. I can tell they are poor quality by the way my ears bleed when using the biscuit jointer, in fact I am surprised it is still going.

Jack.

How was that ?
BTW, I don't care what you do with the orange gear, just don't over price the GMC products to keep up.

good call that's what we are all about getting people in there to have a go
sometimes people cannot afford $500 for a lathe ,so we can do a product
for a lot less and get people into wood working which i think it's what it's all about. in answer to chinise workers . i don't know much about it. so i cannot really coment on it , i'm sure we are doing the right thing by all involved
it's the future is looking up within china as working and pay standards have improved alot over the years , thanks again guys

Fair call, dude, I buy your stuff so I can't be too critical. Thanks for answering.

How about adding a mini spotlight to the router to illuminate the cutter and help watch guide lines?

Jim

i am who i am , if that makes sence
and happy to help it's good to see some support . thought you all hated
us first time around . but t's good to see that you guys do use the products
and are enjoying them. it's by far the best products you can get for the price we sell these things for . just wait until you see some of the new stuff, that's if there is new stuff, wink wink !!
cannot tell you much but keep looking at the stores to find out more,

Jack.

I also have quite a few of the GMC tools, and so far have not had any issues, however I must agree with Jack regarding the noice level of the biscuit joiner, or "banshee" as it is otherwise referred to

Im happy with my GMC tools. I knew exactly what I was buying and feel Ive received value for money. However, I have to agree with Jack - please do something about your bearing quality if you can please. Thanks.

Neil

yeah good one !
bloody good idea , just thinking have you seen this on any other router system
cause i cannot think of anything with a light on it , i will put it across to the guys
in melbourne, cheers. will let you know as to what they think
