Asian mills & lathes -tariffs ?

[pacifica]

Since we have new leadership (this is not political) and Tariffs have been threatened as a tool to even the trade deficit between the US & China, do you think it may be wise to buy your import lathe or mill sooner rather than later ? Your thoughts...

I know after the tariffs of 2018 the price of steel went way up. O-1 I got from MSC pre 2018 went from $35 then to $138.00 present day( and that is not the starret brand).
For a while they put market price rather than listing a price.
