What is it for? I have got several from people I have not accepted or rejected, simply because I don't know what it actually does. I try to answer questions on machines that I have personal experience on, working either for the builder or distributor over the years. My specialty is really Mori's, and pre-2004 Okuma's, but like all distributors, the cheaper lines come and go. I will continue to try and help others when I am on this forum, and I believe I have done so, without wanting/getting payment either from service or people trying to buy information. I have seen others get service calls from this forum on occasion, but I have a full time job and only do "side work" for some of my very oldest long time customers that have actually become friends over the years. I will not sell or give away copyrighted material, so never ask.
Anyways sorry for the story, but back to what is a friend request?
