Is DeWalt chinese communist crap?
Unfortunately, that is true for almost everything you buy these days. Most of it is made by a company called Emmerson, which is an old line American name that was bought by a Chinese conglomerate.
Even my beloved Milwaukee tools very carefully skirt the issue with, “assembled in the USA.” That means all of the pieces of the saw were made in China, and when they got here Milwaukee installed the blade.
If you look at a lot of the tools, you'll realize that DeWalt, Rigid, and Craftsman all look the same. This is especially true of table saws. That's because they are all made by Emmerson, with customization of colors and small features to suit each brand.
About the only difference these days is warranty, although you even have to read those very carefully. Rigid’s famous “life time warranty” now has a whole bunch of lawyer language, and in fact is only slightly different then DeWalt's.
You are very generous to help your son establish himself in the business like this.
