Re: Parts quality
[QUOTE=Kube;2328562]
So many folks place the blame on Chinese manufacturing. Hate to inform those folks but China can produce quality equal to all others.
That level of quality must be paid for.
For sure! When I retired I bought a small Rockwell vertical milling machine for my small shop. A few years after I found another Rockwell vertical/horizontal mill in extremely nice condition. Later a friend passed and he had a Select Mill made in Taiwan that I bought. This company made this mill for numerous companies to their quality specs which determined the cost. The fit, finish and end product was superior to the 2 Rockwells I had used. Now nearing the end of my shop years I am quite sure that selling this little mill will put up a red flag being made in Taiwan. I did put a Baldor motor and a starter on as I was told Asian electrics are not as well made.
