Everything arrived in good shape and delivery was smooth

Everything arrived in good shape and delivery was smooth. Haven't gotten started yet with the tumbler so can't tell you about how it works. The instructions didn't tell me how to attach the bowl to the base! Had to learn that from a You-Tube video! Haven't plugged it in yet.

I had a great experience working with Craig. I needed to change my order and they were already aware of my mistake with the saw size. Everything was so easy and smooth.

CabKing Grinder with attached saw

I have set up the grinding machine which was very easy. I have not used it yet but will be soon. I have taken it apart to set up the saw attachment which was also easy and have used that and am loving it.
