    Just to clarify, there are actually two Chinas as far as tools are
    concerned. Mainland China is where most of the junk comes from - some
    good stuff too, no doubt. Taiwan is not the same. Toolmakers in
    Taiwan can and do put out some real fine stuff. My index fixture (for
    the milling machine) is made in Taiwan from good steel, is tight as a
    drum and was much cheaper but not what you'd call "cheap". If
    something is from Taiwan specifically, it might be worth a look. If
    it's just "China", then maybe not.
