Has anyone ever heard of NorthTech Industrial Machinery or know what their table saw or dust collection machines are like? I've run across a couple in an online IRS auction that are a couple of hours from me, and the table saw looks pretty nice. However, I cannot find anything about this company online and only see a couple of places that even carry their tools (all without reviews that I can see).
From my initial research, it looks like the company is in Kentucky and is still active according to the Secretary of State, but that doesn't help me much with regards to the quality of their tools. The saw and dust collectors I am looking at would need to be converted from 3 phase (via converter, new motor, etc), so if the quality of the tools is low, I'd rather keep looking. If this a rebrand of a good machine from overseas, though, I really don't care whether the saw says PM, Jet, SawStop, etc. vs NorthTech…just want something that cuts and runs well! Anyone have any insight on this company?
