Nope

interesting isn't it. we all think just because the machine might have a a "name' that it is produced in country that we may prefer. I bought a couple of General International machines(not lathes, although I have not heard much good bout them) and have had a lot of grief,even though the after sales service has been good. If I spend 8000$ on a .thickness planer and an edge sander and wait 6 months for them I would exlpect them to work. Not so. To be continued

The folk who bought Myford's machinery (RDG Tools) have probably moved everything to their base in Yorkshire. It'll be interesting to see what they start producing, and at what price.
