Re: U.S. or Canadian made electric planer
Interesting question. In these days of NAAFTA you can find US brand
products that were actually manufactured in Canada (or Mexico) in US
stores for sale under their US brand names. Probably not what you
meant.
If you mean an independent manufacturer, the one that comes to mind
is King Canada (www.kingcanda.com) who CLAIMS to manufacture their
own tools. Since so many of the hand tools look like brand name knock
offs (RO 6" sander looks like Porter-Cable) I suspect these may be
Chinese. But I'd not be surprised to find that their larger shop
tools are Canadian. BTW the King Canada site shows 11 HD looking
planers and one electric hand planer.
Would be a good question for the Canadian Boatbuilders group at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Canadianboatbuilder.We've had some
discussion about this lately.
Bryant - who has to tell you he is owner of Canadian Boatbuilder.
