I recently ordered an guide bushing adapter for my router on eBay. The product
came from Shop Fox, a "registered trademark of Woodstock International,
Inc." and "manufactured in China for Woodstock International, Inc."
Having never heard of Shop Fox, I went to their website and noticed that
they carry a wide assortment of woodworking and metalworking machines.

I'm not looking to buy, just curious if anyone knows anything about their
equipment. I looked for a local dealer and was surprised to find that
their products are supposedly carried at a fancy lumber yard in a "high end"
neighborhood as well as a place way out in the middle of farm country.
I've just looked at one of their lathes and it appears to be identical
to one sold by King, in Canada. Their reputation for quality is
questionable, at least I've been told that by several people.
Whose reputation is questionable...Shop Fox or King?
