Juan Rodriguez Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 (edited) I just noticed Amazon has the Dewalt saw on sale for $399.00. The description stated that the saw was made in Taiwan. Is this a marketing error or is really made in Taiwan instead of China.? Tractor Supply has a Jet 22 in. with the stand for $999.00. However, the country of origin is listed as "imported". This could mean the new marketing trend of camouflage for items made in China? Wow, we have to be so "Buyer be Ware" anymore.

Roberta Moreton Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 I don’t know if it makes any difference in the Dewalt. The Excalibur 21 Manufactured in Taiwan was said to be better than the one made in China. The Dewalt I just purchased from Amazon was made in Taiwan.

Blaughn Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Hi Juan: I just looked up the Delta manuals. The Model 40-691 is listed as China Manufacture. The 40-695 is listed as Taiwan Mfg. Taiwan manufacturing is generally higher quality. I can't find that info for Jet although one dealer lists it as Taiwan. scrollingforsanity and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor supply finally got back to me. Country of origin is China. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta Moreton Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I recently received my New DW788 from Amazon. It stated it was manufactured in Taiwan. I am VERY happy with it! Thanks for the heads up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 The quality is up to what the company will accept... How ever. I am old I remember when we first started getting things made in Japan.. They were junk.. sometime latter, people started looking for things made in Japan.. Toyotas and other cars, electronics.. etc, Maybe it will turn out the same with item made in China. Leaving out the politics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
