Just like products that are or were made in the US there is good, bad and ugly. Some products are built to a quality point, some to a price point and some in the middle. Many of the woodworking machines built in the US in the last century were built only to a quality point, consumers like most of us didn’t buy 20” bandsaw, cabinets saws or 12” jointers. They were built for commercial and industrial use by companies that spread the initial cost over many years.
