Been there, done that, but it sort of drives home my earlier point about
quality, not country of origin..

Biscuit jointers looked like a cool tool, but I wasn't ready to pay $150 to find
out... I bought one on sale at HF for $20 on sale.. Made in China and it was a
POS, but it made me realize that biscuit jointing was a useful concept..
My wife then bought me the Craftsman/De Walt version... Also made in China, but
IMO a good tool that has lasted for years so far..
