In my first article I did not wish imply anything about import copy tools.
I have alot of information about these taiwanese tools and with Grizzly
just up the road it's easy for me to get those questions answered. What
I want is information about the Ryobi planer. It was hoping to avoid an
large dicussion about the advantages and disadvantage of taiwanese tools.
What it seems I have done is confused the issue. Sorry.
