I'm looking at these "Woodriver" planes and wondering why the #7 jointer is actually more expensive than the Veritas #7 jointer. Woodriver is made in China which typically means lower price and in some cases questionable quality control. However, I've read some good reviews on Woodcraft, and "made in China" does not necessarily mean poor quality. But still, I have come to expect a lower price tag for imported tools. Does anyone own Woodcraft planes? What do you think of them? Should I just assume that I will get a higher quality tool from Veritas? What do you think?
The price is lower on some of the other Woodcraft planes but not a huge difference from Veritas. Since most consumers tend to associate a higher price tag with higher quality, could woodriver's pricing be a marketing ploy? Just a thought. I'd love to hear from people who own them.
