Hi Ray, Both Delta & DeWalt are owned by Black & Decker and built in China, now. The EX21 from Excalibur can be loaded top or bottom and has 8 inchs of clearence with the arm up. It requires no oiling or other service. It has full power at its slowest speed and a 5 year warranty. And most of all it is not built in China! In Him, Happy Scrolling Brother Frank |
