Ouch!

Don; if Freud wants to market a cheap model then they have to live with the criticism...can't have their cake and eat it too. They're only too happy to sell off their red brand colour.

No, I didn't mean "sell off" as in get rid of. I meant it as in sell lower end market products based on the reputation of an established higher end product with a good reputation.
Manufacturers do it all the time. It's my personal opinion that CMT is doing it with their recent introduction of 'Made in China' product.Their reputation is based on German steel and Carbide.
