That's a great story. I had a similar experience with Lee Valley regarding
a part that I had screwed up during an install, and Robin Lee saw my post,
figured out who I was and sent me the part. He did email me first and I
told him that it was my fault and don't worry about it. He sent the part
anyway hehe.

So, one question - if the table you have was satisfactory to you, and within
the Mini Max specs, why did you accept the new table? Seems like a lot of
work to replace the table for not a lot of benefit. Just my opinion.

Thanks for the story, I'll definitely keep MM in mind when I'm able to
afford an upgrade to my bandsaw.
