[Spridgets] replacing my Ingersol-Rand "stall saw" today

[Bud Osbourne]

The one I'm replacing was not of US manufacture.  It, too, was produced "off
shore".  It will be sent out for a rebuild (there really isn't much to these
air saber saws), and kept as a spare.  When it was new, I had it in for
warranty service a couple of times.  The second time, they bored the cylinder
slightly larger, which at least kept it from temporarily seizing, which it
frequently did.  Experimenting with lubrication feed volume & different lube
oils had no effect.  It sure has earned it's nick name (stall saw).

  Have you asked if they can service your made in the USA saw?
