You cannot generalize on quality based on country of manufacture. Sawstop is made in Taiwan and their products are top shelf quality.

Most such tools are made in Taiwan. Yeah, Leon has an Italian Laguna

It is mostly the value of the dollar that dictates the difference in
price from foreign manufacturers.
