    Oneida - Now the wait begins!!

    Since my tax bill is not as large as I had thought it would be I ordered a 2hp Super Dust Gorilla today and Mark at Oneida informed my that the wait is now 6-8 weeks, probably closer to 8 weeks. I can accept that but I am now begining to see longer wait times on many items sourced from the far east. Gone are the days of made in the USA and lead times much more reasonable if any at all. Would I pay a premium for that, you bet I would but I probably am paying the same price anyway since the cost savings isn't really passed on to the end user. I think this whole far east thing is going to bite us real hard rather quickly when they stop taking our funny money and our factories are gone.

    Congrats on the Oneida order...but remember, they are made in Syracuse NY. ;-) I've been to the factory!

    The most expensive tool is the one you buy "cheaply" and often...

  3. Wish they were made entirely in the USA, BUT

    The following line is copied and pasted right from Oneida's website at the bottom of the Super Dust Gorilla page.
