Garbage products and terrible customer support
Don't purchase their in-house brands - Sherwood, Torquata or Baladonia. They're utter crap. Manufactured to really poor standards with poor quality control and the service is awful when you try to get an issue sorted.
Save yourself the trouble of dealing with a company that sells substandard products. If you care about your craft and the quality of woodworking you perform, go elsewhere. As for the brands they don't have propriety of - Incra, Whittle Waxes, Luban, etc - you can get them cheaper from other retailers.
Purchased a Sherwood joi...
Read morenter: it was a pile of junk. The infeed and outfeed table were machined to such a poor quality that I could have done a better job with an angle grinder. Lost two or three days, from picking up and transporting the unit, then assembling and testing the unit, to disassembling, repacking and returning a pile of garbage to Timbecon's door.- Product Quality

Advertised a different product
I received an item that was supposed to be brass and wasn’t. And then was told I would only receive a refund if I post the item back to them at there expense. I’m sorry but half hours out of my weekend to post items back are worth more than the item I payed for. Good business practice would be to give me a full refund and an apology for wasting my time

Disappointing
They have demonstrated no interest in resolving simple issues that has left me with the unfortunate task of advising all who read this that your custom will be appreciated elsewhere. Can not recommend Timbecon in any capacity.

sherwood wetstone grinder
I bought the Sherwood wetstone grinder from Timbecon. The machine developed a fault with the speed control unit and a replacement was sent out immediately before I packaged the faulty one to return. The replacement unit developed the same problem within less than 6 months and Timbecon would not replace it immediately without receipt of the faulty one even though I had sent a video of the unit showing exactly the same fault with jerky rotation. Timbecon decided to refund the full cost of the unit and I will not be purchasing Sherwood brand (made in China) again. I have opted for Tormek T-8 as a replacement (made in Germany). unfortunately, Chinese copies just don't cut the mustard.
