Thanks for letting me know.  I expect that I will buy one.

I notice something that I have never seen before, and that is a Verities product made in the USA.  Up until now, all the Veritas products that I own (and I have many of them) were made in Canada.  I wonder what that is all about?

Good eye Frank.  There apparently aren't many.

Google this:
site:leevalley.com veritas "Made in USA"

It's not exact, but you can see there are maybe a dozen or more.

Woodpecker tools has been make more metric tools also.

It is about time, as it is much easer building stuff biased on  the Metric system.

You beat me to it.

See our leaders actually know what they're doing. They knew the only way to get our manufacturing base back was make us a 3rd world country....

They had a similar size square available a few years ago but I missed out before they became unavailable -- Thanks for the great heads-up!

Thats because they can't do fractions so  they get paid less...

What can I say our (US) labor force is now from off shore or over the southern boarder.... so labor rates have gone down...

That is why they can offer an MM one... [eek] US Workers... are doing the other scale.
