I wonder how many others feel the same way.


Not I. My tablesaw and a few of my other tools were made in China. I
read one review that stated they found the table surface on the Chinese
brand of saw to be flatter than any other brand (including Delta).

When the Chinese feel it's important to do so, they produce an excellent
quality product.

Where are Delta table saws made these days? I know that all of the
small drill presses are now made off-shore and it wouldn't surprise me
if this is true of table saws as well.

Bottom end Delta stuff is made in China.

Yeah, I own a bunch of Delta woodworking power tools -- from back in
the days when they were made in the USA.

When I bought my Jet jointer, it was almost unbelievably expensive --
and a power planer was nearly unaffordable. Now, ALL are affordable,
and appear to be virtually identical to my tools -- with the exception
that they are now all made in China.

The amazing thing (to me) is that they can make something heavy like a
planer, ship it all the way around the world -- and STILL be less than
50% as expensive as their American counterparts. It's frightening in
a way.
