What was wrong with the rebuilt ebay units you bought? Binding? Poor quality?


All the above.

Issues:

- bores were lightly pitted
- bore smoothness was far from OEM- just rough cut
- blades do not sit perfectly in the bores (do not seal)
- blades like to stick when returning to idle
- received with cutting debris in the bores

Most of these are more cosmetic/quality issues, but for the $220 I paid at the time, it was unacceptable. The first TB I got from these guys suffered from the same issues, so these problems were not a one-time fluke.

It has been over a year, and the guy is still selling these things, so maybe he is starting with better cores and have increased quality to stay in business. One would hope.

I'm looking forward to replacing it with a quality piece.
