I have owned or used several General band saws. They are the best I have
ever used. They rival my Walker Turner. I do not think they are Taiwanese.
The General fit and performance are excellent. You will never regret buying
one.

General (Canada) and General International (Taiwan) are two completely
separate lines of machines. The Canada machines are higher quality and
higher cost. I own a General International contractor's saw, and I'm
very pleased with it. Nonetheless, there were some minor set-up issues.
It's my understanding that General (Canada) does not inspect the
machines. No doubt this is due to cost considerations.
