Without looking I'm pretty sure they are about the same, or maybe exactly the same other than paint color as: Grizzly, ENCO & a host of other china imports.

They are at best a fair machine for home use.

I have a 14 X 40 ENCO that is a bit better machine & has held up pretty good for utility use in a production shop. This appears to be identical to mine. http://www.wttool.com/product-exec/prod ... _WT_Import_

Of course the money is double. I'd also imagine it's a much more rigid machine. That is as far as import China equipment goes.

Your machinery dollar will be best spent on older American made machinery. As long as you have the time to search & have the ability to determine if a used machine is still in decent shape or just a pile of iron with a shiny new paint job on it.

I reccomend you look. If they have it in stock they will probably uncrate it for you to inspect. I bought my mill/drill from them after inspecting it. I'm very pleased with it.

Good luck
