It doesn't represent the company very well, but it's not terribly difficult to get the meaning. You at least got an answer from someone who knows something. A worthless answer in perfect english doesn't get you anywhere.

Short version:

The scales are only a starting point, you need to adjust it properly by other means. Apparently the labels got put on incorrectly on your saw. Please just deal with it. Or you could make it your dealer's problem instead of mine, that would be nice.

Yes. What the consultant will never tell you is that the worst idea ever was hiring HIM. Oh, no. You don't need workers, you don't need staff nor contractors (who needs people that actually make stuff and do stuff and sell stuff?): you need MORE CONSULTANTS!

And every time a new, custom-welded blade is installed, the 'meter' needs recalibrating. If the new blade differs in length by as much as

1/4", the indicator will be 'wrong', if you're looking to get to a certain setpoint.

My Jet 16" had blades at 123", IIRC. All a little different. Sold it to a friend who needed it more than I did last month. Duginske's Band Saw book was more useful than the Jet manual for him, too.

Tune by ear, if you can, I guess.

Strong is the dark side in this one.

Alright, the chinglish in your original posting was easier to understand than that phrase. :-)

"clotheardly", there's a new one on me too

Leuf, you have just achieved the status of universal translator for the wreck.

It does help to know about the topic. That is why I did so well with the electronic equipment. At the time, I was current on all the equipment. So if a strange manual came along, it was reasonably easy to translate. If I was not familiar with the equipment, it would have been much harder.

You have never heard of having ready cash? AKA 'readies' AFAIR it is cockney slang, picked up watching too much Brit TV.

And as for 'cloth eared' I'll have to refer you to Monty Python..

"For how can a woman expect to appreciate a professor of logic if the simplest cloth-eared syllogism causes her to flounder." (

Now if I'd used Australian slang, you would really have been in trouble!

e.g. Well these jokers put the bite on me for serious bickies there mate, so you'd reckon they gave the thing the once over before they dropped it in the ute. As for sending me that gobbledegook, a bloke deserves to get the right drum if he fronts with a question,. You reckon?

Translates as...

These fellows sold me a machine for a considerable amount of money. Given that, it is not unreasonable to expect that a proper inspection be carried out before the item was loaded into my vehicle. As regards the incomprehensible reply, a purchasor has a reasonable expectation that a correct reply will be written in standard English, don't you think?

Thanks for clearing that up

An old Monty Python fan, I'd forgotten that one.
