Where is this made? On Wikipedia it says that Porter Cable tools are now manufactured either in Mexico or China.

Can't answer that question right now because it is at my other home, but it is of excellent quality and does a great job

I'm not sure where its made, I have used this saw for 4 mths after using a delta for 15 yrs all I can say is ease of setup and controls. I wish I would have went this route yrs ago. Would replace with the same thing if the need ever arises. Good Luck and happy scrolling

Sorry brother, I was under the assumption that they were still all made in the USA. It doesn't say on the saw, but the box says "made in China". Still has 5 year warranty, but when they were bought out they went international.

Sorry, but it is made in China. It is an outstanding tool, however! It is distributed from Michigan

China I think, but I have to admit...is well made...is a lot heavier than the DeWalt I replace with. Been using it for 5 years and still works great.

Because they are NOT U.S.A. Made tools, they are made in China and Taiwan. Just a bit of BAIT & SWITCH for you!

Both tools have proven to be fine choices and dependable. If the only concern is the switch then simply put a piece of clear plastic film over the switch. This will enable you to see the switch setting (on/off) to respond to the state you wish for the tool. I do not see a major problem, but rather a minor preference. Both tools have power brakes, power steering, etc., so the choice for me would be the one I prefer simply for looks. However, I would prefer the Bosch tool to be made in Switzerland or the Porter-Cable tool to be made in the USA rather than China or Mexico.

The package says that this tool is made in Taiwan. The tool is well designed, high quality, heavy-duty, and easy to use.

I don't recall the details, but this is a Harbor Freight product, so you might check their website. I'm sure they must sell the same tool there. I'm guessing there's some warranty but it's probably limited. Almost everything Harbor freight sells is imported and this tool is no exception. It's made in Taiwan. Most of the items from Taiwan are certainly good enough for the price, but it's not a top-of-the-line product as might be expected by the "Pittsburgh" name which is a bit misleading. I like the one I have, but I use it very, very infrequently.

I have not checked my sander, but I would be surprised (astounded) if it were NOT manufactured in China. It seems that most other tools like this are NOW manufactured in China.

These tools used to be made in Germany, and Switzerland, but this saw is made in China.

The packaging says "Made in Mexico" from Lewis Tools in Paway, CA. It is a sturdy steel tool and I guess I would rather support Mexico's economy than China's.

I bought mine last year, and it still said MADE IN GERMANY on it. CAUTION you must only buy the RH328VC model #, it is true many other BOSCH tools are now made in CHINA, but the RH328VC is still made in GERMANY as far as I know, and is a wunderbar ! tool.

It is commonly said that if a Makita tool has "Made in China" it must be an inferior tool. From what I have read and believe, even tools made in the Makita factory in China have to meet the same Makita standards as their other factories. Makita tools are produced all over the world. Japan, China, USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Germany and the UK. As for this cutoff saw, I own it and have used it to cut steel re-bar, metal tubing, pipe, etc. and it has served me well. I don't know for sure where it was manufactured, but I am not worried about it at all. The warranty is the same no matter where it was put together.

It's a global market. I agree, the "Made in China" should go in the information section, not the opinion section. I have a shop full of Jet, Powermatic, Shop Fox and Grizzly equipment; all made in China and/or Korea. I would prefer equipment made here, but I have no complaints about my foreign made tools.

They no longer say "made in usa" on the tool itself. I've read that they make them in china now.

I do not know for sure. In 2002, DeWalt ceased all tool manufacturing in the USA and moved manufacturing to Mexico and China, but they did announce this past Veterans Day they were brining some manufacturing back to the U.S.
