The time has come to replace some of the shop tools due to age and condition. My question is as follows I am a pretty big powermatic man. Most of the equipment other than some old iron is all powermatic but for some reason i've taken a liking to general tools lately. My question is since i've got alot of good feed back from some tradesmen on the brand "general" it's self, what is the deal with "general International"? Is this a cheaper line that would not have been made in canada? I know the price is lower so some options are missing. So the big question is should I stay away from the general international or am I still getting a pretty decent product say compariable to a jet? Any general info on this line would be great, where it's made, quality comparison, etc.
Thanks,
Jason.
