Not nearly enough, apparently...

That is the crux of the problem, the company has to move enough product to
cover overheads and show a bottom line. There isn't enough people willing
to spend extra for a quality product to support the facilities to create
that quality. Unfortunately this extends far beyond wood working tools,
but to pretty much everything we need in life, including a nice pair of
warm socks.
