Years ago General and Poitras has their own foundry.
Now, like many others, they get all their castings and assemblies work done
in China and Taiwan. At one time, the motors and drives were installed in
Canada. Now they may well be installed in China or Taiwan. I did ask
General International for information but to no avail.
They do not have a strong marketing approach in Canada. Dealers are getting
higher markup on other imported lathes.

I'm not 100 percent on this, but I understand there are two different
Generals. One is Canadian and one Chinese or Tiwaniese. I don't know which
is
General International but I would make sure about which I was looking to
buy.

Geneeral makes a good lathe. I have turned on a couple of
them. I think my powermatic 3520a is a better lathe though.

the Poolwood. you may want to contact David Ellsworth about
the Poolwood. Walter
