Rockwell was pretty well known for quality machines. Towards the end,
the quality control really slipped. Delta bought most of the
stationary machines, while Porter Cable re-acquired the hand tools.
Quality was still pretty poor with Porter Cable.
About a year ago, the employees of Porter Cable bought the company.
They realized that things had to improve, or the comany would go
under. There has been a definite increase in the quality of Porter
Cable tools.
I have gathered this information from several local woodworking stores
and local professional woodworkers.
