Many thanks, Mike. You da man!

I stopped at a HF store yesterday to look at the Fein MM type tool they are
selling. They didn't have any in stock, but they did have the Tormek copy on
the shelf. I was a little surprised how cheesy it looked even for a HF tool.
I would love to hear continued reviews.

The price with the coupon is attractive, but by now I've learned that
cheaper isn't always a better deal. Sometimes paying more is cheaper in the
long run, and I have to think something made in Germany is probably built to
higher standards than a similar item made in China.

Well, spend what you want, but I don't think where it's made has as much impact
as HOW it's made..

I'm sure that there are no places in Germany making cheap tools, though..

As the owner of a shop full of mostly chi-wan-ese tools, mostly Jet lathes, I'm
impressed with a good tool, and don't really care where it's made..

(not implying that the HF tool is good or bad, as I haven't seen it)

Absolutely. I know a shop in Toronto (my ex-in-laws) which uses metal
lathes for ultra precision work, stuff like gyro parts and other
insanely super small, and some big, accurate pieces. Those guys
wanted, waited, ordered their lathes from a company in China, LONG
before (late '70's) the big Chinowanese influx of big iron.
They wanted THOSE lathes. And I tell you, if Rolex ever made a lathe,
it would look like those. Seldom does one see anything of that
quality. I was assured that the price of those things had nothing to
do with the selection process, as they cost a lot more than your
Euromerican type stuff. Them Chinowanese buggers DO know how to. It's
just that their customers (usually marketing schmucks from the
Americandian companies with their fancy ass-wipe MBA's) make them work
to a price, hence the crap.

Case in point and an example I use often is the Ridgid 2610 6" ROS. It
WAS made in Germany by Metabo for Ridgid. Then they 'upgraded' it to a
2611 made in China. Suffice it to say, not a change for the better.
All for the sake of a buck.

Clone grinder, eh? Is that used when your clone gets dull? Or is it
used to make clone sausage?

There are some very, very, nice bicycle components made in China,
including all Specialized brand frames.

One of the few things that keeps some of the way-ultra high-end stuff
from being made in China are export limitations on materials like
defense grade carbon fiber.
