The fact this saw is made in the USA was also very important to me, I
prefer to buy
American when possible.

Not to make a bad situation worse, but my dealer told me that Jet/Powermatic
is a Swiss company who manufactures their products in Taiwan. I don't know
if this is true or not?

WMH is a Swiss holding company that owns Jet, Wilton, Powermatic and Peformax
so that part's true. AFAIK, the model 66 is still made in the States, though
I'd hate to bet on how long that will hold true. Many of the other Powermatic
tools are made in Taiwan and China, as are Jet tools (Taiwan was where Jet
tools were first made).
