Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Neither country likes us very much.

Yeah, but China sure does love taking our money. And we, like dumbasses, love to give them our money, and then on top of that turn our manufacturing base over to them too.
Future history is going to show us deserving what is coming.
IMHO.

Yep, guilty as charged. Please note the "we" in my quote above. I know I have purchased my fair share of Chinese made stuff. If you are able to NEVER buy anything made in China I would be very surprised to learn that anyone can do that these days. The unfortunate thing in some cases is that you either buy Chinese, or go empty handed, because no one else makes some merchandise any longer.
As for that "China-crap" lathe that came off of Ebay, that got returned to the seller and I got my money back. I knew I was taking a chance on quality, and thought I could work it into a reasonably accurate machine, but it was worse than my worst expectations. I did buy another lathe that was also made in China, but it is a lot better quality and sold through a USA reseller who specializes in such machines, and supports and stands behind what he sells. And accordingly the price reflected that difference. Point of the matter is that I had no other choice if I wanted to buy a decent lathe. Nothing else came even close to all the specs I wanted, either new or used made in the USA.
