Commercial Machines | Kreg Tool

Hi, Guest Login Register. Pages: [ 1 ] Go Down. Some of you guys noticed in my Sys Port build video that I introduced the Kreg Foreman in the middle of the build process. The Kreg Foreman has been a work horse in my shop. I'm so happy Kreg made a foreman machine affordable for everyone.

Whether you're a pro or a hobbyist. If you use pocket holes as much as I do. You should consider checking out the Kreg Foreman. The machine is VERY easy to set up. Dust collection is just fantastic when it's hooked up to a shop vac, OR for most of us a CT vac. Okay, enough of my mumbo jumbo Tare care guys!

Thanks for the help, part s etc - you da' man. Kev Posts: Great video. I would have loved to see you pocket holing a large panel.

The Foreman is one of those tools that represents a huge jump in productivity. It's profit in a blue box. I put it in the same category as a track saw or my Copemaster for simplifying my job and speeding production. Hey Eric, Great video! Thanks for the rundown on the Foreman. Looks like an excellent product. Mike A. RKA Posts: Quote from: justinh on March 25,PM.

Posts: Old thread I know but this kreg foreman pocket hole machine australia like a good place to ask this question so as to keep information on the Kreg Foreman all together.

I lost one of the rubber foot pads for my Kreg Foreman and after looking high and low I can not find it. Retraced my steps of where I was that day working out of the shoplooked in the bed of the truck, at the worksite, but can't find it. So I figured I am going to have to buy a replacement, can't cost that much right? Well, the sad part is that apparently you can't buy parts for the Foreman. When I went to Kreg's site and tried to find where you order parts from there was nothing.

So I emailed Customer Service and asked where can I get a replacement foot pad from and they told me they don't sell them. This piece is not secured to the machine, it just slip fits into the foot of the tool. No screw or adhesive is used to keep it in place, you can slip them in and out easily.

Apparently what happened to me was I was carrying the Foreman out to the truck and I guess the rubber pad snagged on my clothing and got pulled out and dropped somewhere along the way. Can't find it to save my life. So does anyone know of a place where I can get another rubber foot pad for the Kreg Foreman?

I was really surprised to find out that it's not available from Kreg. Update: I just couldn't believe that the above was true so once their office opened this morning I called the number on their website and asked to speak to someone about obtaining replacement parts. The gentleman I spoke with told me the same thing as I was told in the email; "We don't have the part [the rubber foot] available to sell you.

I asked about the flip-out stops on the fence and other small parts that could become lost or broken during use and he said no for the stops but they might be able to help on a case-by-case basis possibly with other parts. Attached is the email I received yesterday.

I have blanked out the name of the person who responded to me because this is not about an individual, it's about the company and their parts availability, or lack there of I guess. So for those who are contemplating kreg foreman pocket hole machine australia a Kreg Foreman, something to factor into your decision. The tool is great and performs very well, I have no problem with the Kreg Foreman or any of the other Kreg tools and jigs I own.

If I had known before what I know now I am not sure I would have bought what has turned out to be a throw away tool should it ever break down. Rollin22Petes Posts: Unfortunately I ran into the same issue with parts. I accidently bored through my fence don't ask how and wanted to order a new one and found out it was unavailable. I like the foreman but may not have bought it if I knew replacement parts weren't available. That's kind of kreg foreman pocket hole machine australia that they don't offer replacement parts.

It's not like Kreg is some boutique manufacturer with a small batch product run. Quote from: Bob D. I know, I can't figure out where they are kreg foreman pocket hole machine australia from by not offering replacement parts, especially for piece parts that are likely to get lost as happened to medamaged, or wear out.

They told me they kreg foreman pocket hole machine australia no way of getting me a replacement foot pad. Crazy stuff. It certainly doesn't make me want to buy more Kreg products I know that. Dovetail65 Posts: The one who says it can't be done should avoid interrupting the person doing it. I'm not trying to start a campaign against Kreg, I think their stuff is great and I have many of their tools and jigs.

Just saying consider that as of right now they don't offer replacements for most of the parts that make up the Forman pocket hole machine. Hopefully that will change some day. I guess I could find a piece of neoprene the same thickness and glue that on. For now I have removed the remaining three and it sits on a wheeled cabinet so I can move it around the shop easily. I have it secured to the top of the cabinet so it doesn't move. The only time I will miss that fourth foot pad is if I take it outside the shop again so it's not the end of the world.

You are not doing anything but stating something everyone should know before they buy. I wonder how many they would sell if the ads and videos stated "no replacement parts available".

I have junk loads of Kreg stuff, this just strikes me as strange. In the old days Todd Sommerfeld never would operate like that. I kreg foreman pocket hole machine australia if he still answers emails like in the old days now that he is grown up and now the CEO? I kreg foreman pocket hole machine australia want to hear the answer to this question right from his mouth.

Heck, I wonder if he kreg foreman pocket hole machine australia knows about it. I think his dad ran a tighter ship at least it seems so. Most woodworkers know, some newbs might not Todd is the brother of Marc Sommerfeld and Craig who came invented the jig and sold them one by one to friends at first, basically out of his garage and is Todd's father who makes and sells router tables, fences and videos using his technique on cabinet making.
