I didn't revive the thread, your compadre, one of the other Patriot owners did.
Why do you guys that own Patriots post a lot of negative crap on the Smithy forum. I don't understand, please explain. Thank You.

Flathead,
I'm not sure what your agenda is- maybe you work for Smithy or are just trying to be their friend, but I doubt if they appreciate your posts.
I have never said anything negative about Smithy in any post. The negative comments came from Smithy owners who were unhappy.
This one from cncbpt
The v-belts were cheap junk,the finish chips off and the machines look like they have been used hard and have alot more hours on them than they do.

It was YOU who re-opened this thread- look back and you will see that it was more than a year since anyone posted here until you opened it again.
If you want to help or promote Smithy, more power to you, but your methods are not doing them any good.
