you need to let go of your prejudices and buy something on it's merits.
I've got a Powermatic BS that is fantastic. Guess where it is made.
If you are dying and the emergency room doctor happens to be a
foreigner, will you tell him to sit this one out while you bleed to
death? Use your head!

and don't bitch to me; you ASKED for thoughts

A recent WoodCraft flier revealed that the Jet bandsaw I've been lusting
after is made in Taiwan. I've got this "buy American" thing happening,
partly because...well, I'm an American, and because other than cars and
electronics, I'm not convinced that those foreign boys make a decent
product. My BP goes up a bit every time I have to grab a "mm" wrench. So
what's the scoop with Jet? Seems to be a quality tool, but "made in Taiwan"
doesn't fill me with tool-joy. I'm sure I'd be disappointed if I researched
the country of origin for my Delta and Craftsman tools.
Your thoughts on the matter?
