The Harbor Freight pass/fail thread has been interesting--I've got a 44" tool chest and 4x6 band saw on order as a result--so I'm wondering about others' experience with import tooling sources. What is recommended from Shars, Grizzly, etc.? What should be avoided? What should only be purchased from US/Europe sources (Starrett, Brown and Sharpe?)
Specifically I want to pick up some 1-2-3 and 2-4-6 blocks, sine bar, and other set up and measurement tools, as well as a ball-bearing center (avoiding the term "live" ). Shars stuff seems interesting, but I haven't purchased from them before. Not sure how they compare to Grizzly, Jet, or other importers?
