Any tools still made in the USA?
Is any woodworking maachinery for the hobbyist still made in the USA?
I'm looking for a 14" bandsaw. Delta makes them in the USA, but the current models don't have a great reputation. Powermatic is making a real nice 14" bandsaw, but in Taiwan. I would rather see jobs stay in the USA and pay a bit more for my tools. Many other types of stationary tools simply aren't made in the USA unless you want to buy high end models for thousands of dollars. I was just at Home Depot a few days ago buying tools in the hand tool promotion. I only bought stuff made in the USA. I may have paid a bit more, but someone might have a job for another day now. I was going to buying a socket set, but Husky tools are all made in Taiwan now so those stayed on the shelf. Brian Elfert |
