In my quest for a new DC, I've run across a few comments from people about the import motors. One person said they had trouble with import motors on Grizzly equipment (specifically a table saw purchased a few years ago), while another had bad experiences with some Jet and General motors.

My Jet table saw is still running fine with its TEFC import motor in its fifth or sixth year, so I'm not really that gun-shy. But I was wondering what your experiences are with the motors on Grizzly equipment especially, and then also generally on other import equipment.

I'm already busting the budget on my plan to buy either a Oneida 2 HP DG or a Grizzly G0440, but Oneida has an upgrade path to a Baldor US made motor for another $150.
