I"ve been always avoiding anything made in China, Taiwan, Philipines, etc. but a friend of mine never seem to care where the stuff was made as long as it's cheap.
The other day he got a new lathe made in China. Nothing special, but it still cost him a couple of grand. As he started checking the thing out, it was gettig bit rough and the beds were getting some scratch marks. He started stripping down the thing, desperately searching for the remedy.
When he got so far that he actually took the carriage out of the beds he finally found the problem.
THE BOTTOM OF THE CARRIAGE WASN'T MACHINED AT ALL. JUST LEFT AS CAST.
After a day on the phone, the mob where he'd bought it from caved in and offered him a full money refund, if he returns the goods. For him it's more than 560Km one way.
As he said.,,, Live and learn. Never again.
