Why is the US retail price of a dewalt and makita biscuit jointer approx.
the same but up here in Canada the Makita averages $150.00 more expensive
than Dewalt and almost impossible to find without special ordering?

Also I recently read a review on biscuit jointers and they listed the Dewalt
as the worst in their out of parallel test, being out 0.017" and the Makita
being perfect. So I have ruled out the Dewalt and want to here opinion on
the porter cable vs. the makita. I can order the Makita or PC from a few
online US retailers and have it delivered for around the price of a local
Dewalt.
Thanks.
