Not necessarily, I once paid good money for a German made bandsaw. What junk. I can't believe it was made in Germany. My Grizzly saw is 100 times better.

True in a way.

I can get the shop fox 42" x 1" belt and 8" disc for $215.00 delivered...

Tempting....

Wow.. That does not sound right... The Germans are supposed to be the engineers...

Shredd · February 27, 2021, 06:45:37 PM

Thanks for the pics on the stringer, Roy...

That's what I thought. The table was made from an aluminum extrusion and had a twist. The guides were crap and the bottom guide support was made from a thin little pot metal casting that broke easily, and it would not cut a straight line.
I learned a lot from that saw. No matter what the maker's reputation, always look closely at it.

Welcome Rich..

Shredd · February 27, 2021, 06:58:29 PM

But I thought the Italians were known for their mason work, glass, pizza and make one hell of a wine...

They combined the wine and pizza on a construction job and the building is about ready to fall over!

Good food, great cars, and they have some very good engineers.
Have you ever seen some of the boats they build?

So today a dreamed about my new garage and visiting Shredd so I can shred...

Some very good widebelt thickness sanders and jointer planers are made in Italy. Do not forget Ferrari.

I have an ancient jointer/ mortiser/ tablesaw combination that was built in Italy. There's no name plate on it and i removed the saw. What a solid machine.

Nice bow! I like the woods.
