Thanks Flaptail...
We are all conditioned, I am trying to buy tooling to replace some 18 year old worn out tools. Went to several suppliers of qualtiy tooling here in the US and in Europe (which also happen to be our two biggest markets) for prices. Today I have one of our senior managers tell me that we aren't doing our jobs if we ignore China as a source.
WTF, we are an American Manufacturer, if we buy from China, who is going to buy what we make here in the USA?????
