    next time try "notching" the tubing leaving the back connected, then fold the tubing, one less weld and I believe stronger and every thing stays lined up bettererererer........

    I’ve got a cheap vise mount for fishmouth cuts somewhere but I don’t really do it often. The whole saw is what I use with it.

    I can empathize with you on this. I've been working on getting a dishwasher installed, and figured out where we wanted the elec outlet and outlined the wall for the box.

    Dishwasher cord too short. :doh:

    Now it's time for Lasagna. :stirpot: :drool::drool::drool: :cheers:

    BTW.. not trying to imply that the 2 mistakes are equal, you will have more time and money vested in correcting your problem.

    I just need to figure out how to get the sharpie marks off without taking off the paint. ;)

    Maybe I'll just put an outlet there anyway, and run some more wire for another outlet. :rofl: :lol::rofl: :lol:

    No offense taken what so ever!

    It happens to all of us:whistle:

    You could put a longer cord on the dishwasher too. I didn’t have a choice with ours it was either screw the dishwasher upside down to the counter or make a longer cord. Sooo ya :whistle:

    LOL too funny! I replaced the old one with Bosch which required it to be hard wired.. Ended up adding a 4" square box in the cellar and splicing and feeding through floor into dishwasher.. Worked out well.. For some reason Bosch will void the warranty if it cord and plug connected..
