Apparently US owned and engineered does not mean Made in USA. I guess its just another Asian made saw with a US invented safety device on it. Kind of like the current Jet, General, Delta, Powermatic, Grizzly, etc. saws are all Asian made saws designed to resemble the original American made Unisaw and 66 saws from many decades ago. I'm not too confident in the quality and reliability of Asian products. I don't associate quality and Asia together. Not sure I would trust the SawStop safety feature to even work when I needed it. A safety saw that cuts your fingers off.


That's a broad statement. Yes, some junk comes from China but look
around you. Asia takes in a lot of countries. Who has been making the
best camera equipment, sound equipment and some medical devices and
equipment for the past few dozen years?

I've been in my industry for 46 years. We've bought tooling from the
US, Germany, Austria, Italy. The best is now coming from China at 2/3
the price and half the lead time.
