Doug:

I Think that your missing the point. If these countries put out true
quality tools, us hobbiests could only get a lathe for 10000$. Sometimes, an
investment of $500 is about all we're willing to spend on that aspect of our
hobby. Quality, is a relative thing, why make everyone pay for a top quality
lathe, when we only need low quality.
