Lots of carpenters on here and hopefully some advice on what to do.
I won one from Record Powers official outlet, listed with a bit of damage, but no way impedes...etc.
Extractor i won was the camvac cgv 336-4 and should have arrived with 2m of 100mm hose.

What turned up this morning is a bigger version but a different model. Pretty much the same spec, but 3x the capacity. Oh and theres no hose or cuff as promised and only one mounting bracket as its for wall mounting, not freestanding, and instead of 240v plug, I've a euro plug only and no adaptor, so i cant even plug it in to see if it survived delivery, before attempting to bash the dents out, which have turned out on this different one to be quite serious. Not entirely sure I could do a perfect job, given instead of round, its now slightly elliptical.
It was supposed to be sitting under the saw bench to extract that, and then hose across for the planer/thicknesser. I've no idea where it would go now.
I'd love to keep it as the capacity is way better.
Keep and hope to bash out the damage, it is metal afterall, or complain and have it taken back, although maybe they sent it as the one I bought was suddenly unavailable and i wouldnt get a replacement, just the refund.
Plus this virus is obviously putting a strain on deliveries/staffing, I dont want to make an 4r5e of myself in the eyes of a company I use a fair bit.
I was really looking forward to getting this. Its 2x as powerful as my old one, and I've been stuck in for about 5 weeks now. What a bummer Mondey 🙁
What’s the question? 🙂

Ask any European office worker visiting the UK and they'll advise you to use a key in the earth pin hole while you forcefully shove the euro plug into the live and neutral holes...
The above is not advice to be taken.
In the real world - this happens very regularly and would be enough to test the unit before rewiring to a BS1363 plug!
The crucial question is 'would you have bought it were it advertised at the price you paid?'
I'm not a carpenter but I have had things delivered to my house before and I reckon you should keep it.
Or send it back if it's not suitable.
Somebody somewhere is posting a similar story , but they ordered the big one and they have been sent the one you ordered , it just might be possible that you could swap, or RP could arrange the swap?
Depends what sort of work you do. Extra capacity is nice, however if it means you can't fit it where you wanted to under a bench or something then it's not much good.
For home use when you've not got a waste contract to get rid of shavings etc then having to empty massive bins can be a pita, especially on your own.
Presumably you can just chuck a new plug on it, but if it's damaged, I reckon I might send it back.

I've thought about that and no is the answer though if I had a bigger workshop(currently a tiny 120sq feet) then it would be ideal and i'd employ my hammering skills, but yeah, nice as it is it is too much too big too bulky. 🙁

I'd not really considered that point, and 150Ltr of sawdust is a fair amount to be getting rid of. I'm a couple of bags a week when im making things, youre spot on there thinking on that. Yeah another good reason.
I need this powerful an extractor, the workshops in a spare room and the fine dust is the really dangerous dust, and you do find it in other rooms most of the time. I know its affecting my health. I'm just so disappointed its not right.

Ahh, very astute Sir. you know the question has been answered already.
This is just confirming its better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.

And when the two of you meet the prophesy is complete - you'll fall madly in love, war will end, the whole world will live in harmony, snickers will be marathons again the letter 't' which has just fallen off will magically re-attach itself to my laptop keyboard and this sentence would have taken far less time to type and proof.
