I do want someone telling me what to look out for while removing and replacing a part. That is info that you really can't get in a technical manual. I have a technical manual for my embroidery machine, it was written by someone from Korea (i think) and the use of words and the translation does not make sense, So it is very hard to use and try to figure out what they are meaning.</p> <p>In this day of information at your fingertips, Sorry, but the comprehensive printed manual is and has been gone for quite sometime. When you buy a car, you don't get a technical manual, you just get a book that tells you where the knobs are.</p> <p>My 2 cents worth, If you want change, Chuck will give it to ya! :O) </p> <p>~</p><p class="edit_text">EDITED: 9 Apr 2007 by ICTJOHN</p> <hr /><a name="a6543_25"></a><p><b>From: Cody (BOBTNAILER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6543.25">#25</a>]<br /> 9 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Mike (MIKED)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6543.22">#22</a>] 9 Apr 2007</p> <p>Mike,</p> <p>Excellent explanation! That really made a lot of sense.</p> <p>I agree that your manual is much more complete and current than some of your competition. At least in my case, it described the machine that I actually have in my shop.....not just older generations of equipment.</p> <p>There have been a few times that the manual did not give me enough information. These have been instances where I needed to call tech support anyway, such as in replacing the X-axis motor & belt, and in replacing the laser tube. Your tech support team sent all necessary instructions & descriptions with the replacement parts.</p> <p>I, for one, am VERY pleased with Epilog's support and documentation.</p> <p><br /> Cody</p><hr /><a name="a6543_26"></a><p><b>From: Sei (SEIMA)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6543.26">#26</a>]<br /> 9 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: John (ICTJOHN)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6543.24">#24</a>] 10 Apr 2007</p> <p>Aah, but go to Advance Auto Parts and you can get a full repair manual for the majority of vehicles released in the last two decades. Armed with that I've been able to save hundreds of dollars doing jobs I feel confident doing that I never would have known were so easy without said manual.</p> <p>That said, I grew up the son of an engineer who wrote technical manuals. As such I'm the sort of person who would very much enjoy having in my hands a book detailing the machine down the the thread count of every bolt holding it together. </p> <p>Granted that's an unrealistic desire, and I don't expect it. But it would be fun to have. :)</p> <p>Sei</p><hr /><a name="a6543_27"></a><p><b>From: John (ICTJOHN)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6543.27">#27</a>]<br /> 10 Apr 2007<br /><b>To: Sei (SEIMA)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6543.26">#26</a>] 10 Apr 2007</p> <p>Sei,</p> <p>But, those books at advance Auto parts were not written by Ford, Chevy or Mercedes Benz, they were written by private companies looking to make a buck by selling you a book.</p> <p>Now, if we could get a company to write manuals for Epilog, Xenetech, Universal, Laser Pro, et al..., then you would have the info all in one place that Nischchi wanted. But in this capitalistic society, I don't think that book would become a BEST SELLER, hence, not much profit for the writer, publisher, distributer, retailer..............<br /> :'-( </p> <p>So, I guess it's back to getting the tech sheets as we need them from the tech department at each manufacturer. Besides we wouldn't want them to get lonely like the "Maytag Repairman"!<br /> :O)</p> <p><br /> ~</p> <hr /><p align="center">Show messages:  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6543.1">1-3</a>  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=6543.4">4-23</a>  24-27</p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
