I am not criticising Tormach. I applaud Tormach (Greg Jackson, a sad loss for all of us) for the effort and achievement to produce a low price product and then support it with exceptional service that is, in the words of the military, "above and beyond".
Anyway, you too should be congratulated for your "journey" that has alerted Tormach users of the problems and shown how to minimise them if they require. Well done.
Bevin,
PS. And you have three videos of that journey, although I don't think it would make a good movie such as "Walk in the Woods" or "Everest".
