If Delta decided to open a factory in the USA selling the same type of tools at the same quality level and price as Festool would they sell? I doubt it at this point as Festool has the brand name and reputation in that market. I still the folks who only buy Made in the USA might buy the Delta brand tools. I personally have a lot less problem buying German tools than I do buying Chinese tools.

Is there a market for a $1500 drill press? I bought a General drill press made in Canada about 7 or 8 years ago and I thought that was expensive at around $800. It would have to be a pretty fancy drill press to pry $1500 out of my wallet.
