10-19-2016, 7:23 PM #1 I’m looking into purchasing a new jointer and planer for my shop and would like to go with the Grizzly machines, but now both machines I’m looking at are made in China, where they used to be made in Taiwan. 10-19-2016, 8:00 PM #5.

Paint defects may be an indication of poor QC, but not to the tool overall.
