I'm glad things are going to China

okay i work in tool and die and i have to say one thing about made in china parts. if we make a die and china makes the same die ours is made was higher quality cast materials. in china the standards for the percentages of certain materials in their cast steels are very low. one part in a die we make that may last 7 years at 100k parts a year while the same part made in china will only last 3 years at the same 100k parts per year. you get what you pay for.
