my comment was as a tradesman to a non trades person and generic in nature, if he takes someone in the know he may well find a good ish Chinese one (Taiwan is better) If I said yeah go buy a Chinese one he will find himself in trouble so my advice was to help him not to bash a particular countries rubbish... sorry ... products
. Its actually the importers fault, they but the cheapest they can not the good ones to make a quick profit. If you know the difference , how to test for hardened beds , how the cross slide should move etc go for it , otherwise avoid them unless you get a recommendation for a specific one from someone in the know, same with telescopes actually!
