Actually, the union/non-union tirade did answer it and the answer for all
intents and purposes is no.

Did anyone answer Brian's original question without going into a
union/non-union tirade ?

Thanks !

Is any woodworking maachinery for the hobbyist still made in the USA?

I'm looking for a 14" bandsaw. Delta makes them in the USA, but the
current models don't have a great reputation. Powermatic is making a
real
nice 14" bandsaw, but in Taiwan. I would rather see jobs stay in the
USA
and pay a bit more for my tools.

Many other types of stationary tools simply aren't made in the USA
unless
you want to buy high end models for thousands of dollars.

I was just at Home Depot a few days ago buying tools in the hand tool
promotion. I only bought stuff made in the USA. I may have paid a bit
more, but someone might have a job for another day now. I was going to
buying a socket set, but Husky tools are all made in Taiwan now so those
stayed on the shelf.
