[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 820497, member: 39764"] I merely rebutted the statement about SBL and flat ways. SBL never produced a machine with flat ways and like Gary, I prefer domestic machines for 2 reasons, one, they are typically overbuilt (especially in the case of a Monarch EE series) and they [U]were[/U] made in America by American craftsmen, not in some shop across the pond in the land of rice-a-roni. We already have an unstainable trade deficit with China, why perpetuate it with more trade imbalance when used American made machines are still available and can be brought to rerasonable tolerance machining with a little time and refurbishing. I don't do business with Balola and Grizzly just for the above reason\, but then, I have the knowledge and capabilities of refurbishing used machine tools, it's a labor of love with me. Monarch was made in Sidney Ohio btw. People in this country need to wake up to the fact that the end game will have you eating with chopsticks and be gunless as well. Gary and I will never succumb to that premise, not now, not later. No rant intended bub, just facts. Made in China or Taiwan or India or any Pacific Rim country has no place in my shop and never will. [/QUOTE]
