I am assuming the heavy duty table and tooling are make over seas. Wondering what country tables are cast and tables/fixtures are machined. Would be nice they were 100% USA but I understand the pricing differences. ---

We cast out tables in Taiwan but all of our tooling is manufactured in USA. ---

Thanks for sharing where the tables are made. I’m delighted with my 60x30 “workbench” & now I know a bit more about where it came from. It would be neat to see a video of the foundry and machining process of the tables! –Larry ---

Where are tables machined? Taiwan as well? You should do a video on the process of making the tables and tooling. ---

They are machined and QCed in Taiwan then we QC them again here in the States. There is a video on the channel that shows our facility here in the USA where we machine our squares and table tooling. Then if you look around instagram and the forum I think you can find some footage of the made in USA hardtails being machined. ---

Thank you for the info! Greatly appreciated. One other thing I was wondering about was the pallets you ship them on. I watched a YouTube video of a guy un crating a table and the pallet it came on was absolutely destroyed. Are you shipping them on better pallets now? ---

They are not, mine came in the same flimsy plywood box with no blocking under it, just sitting flat on the bed of the truck. ---

I was also not impressed with the packaging of my 4.5x8.5 table i received on friday. The plywood was tore up on one end where they shoved it with a forklift. Once i got it unpackaged i noticed they did scar it up a bit when they did that. Frustrating considering the price of the shipping. Dont get me wrong im a huge fireball fan and tell anyone that will listen to me about your products. Im sure it was the carrier that scarred up my table. Love my table though. ---

That’s a bummer. And criminally in my experience LTL shippers usually won’t let you open a crate and inspect it before rejecting a shipment for damage, and you can’t take the undamaged parts of it and reject the rest, in general it all has to go back. ---

Right. I spoke with the carrier today and they wanted to return the table… i was like meh. Its not worth all that. ---

They could construct a real pallet and set the crappy pallet on top for not much more money. Id gladly pay a extra 100 or so for something that protects the table better.
