Re: Wizard8000 software issue

Seems we have no choice but use Germany, The Wizard Tech guy in the US was really confused as to why they never said in the first instance about the software upgrade, and In the States they have no problem taking over customers computers regardless whose it is, the sheer volume of emails I got from ...

Re: Wizard8000 software issue

Re: Wizard8000 software issue

So here is the last word from me on this subject. Wizard USA has a different system of customer service and support, three levels of plans for tech help etc, and it is a monthly subscription. Wizard Europe doesn't appear to have this at all. Wizard USA give brilliant service, very professional and u...

Re: Wizard8000 software issue

Hi and thanks for your reply, I do not have a contract with them but did offer to take one on, the issue seems to be because I bought a computer and it is not theirs(Wizard) which seems very off as the computer they supply is not custom made for them and TBH the person dealing with me is not a techn...

Re: Morso guillotine - cutting poorly all of a sudden

If blades are good, try moving the cam nut attached to the handle that moves the blades back and forth, this adjustment will make all the difference good and bad.... Good luck.
