Out of the same factory in Taiwan probably. I have a Black and Decker tablesaw that is exactly the same as one of the Grizzly's in every detail other than color.

I had to buy a new riding mower this past fall. I ended up getting a Husqvarna. The salesman told me he had been sent to tour the factory in S.C. or Georgia, I can't remember which, and said that the week before, they had been building John Deeres.

Not so amazing that everyone imports the same machine in different colors/labels, just the insane price markups. Wonder how many suckers Amazon will catch?

To be fair, we are assuming they're exactly the same sander. Much like the ridgid 4512 and the craftsman 21833 saw look the same from the outside, yet have some different specs inside, these could too. Now not enough to probably justify 200 dollars of difference, but they could be slightly different.

Not exactly the same, but it works great. Same as the Harbor Freight also.

Post #7 - exact same sander, $100 price difference?
