Here's the US flyer of those sales. (Canukistanis can fetch a CAN$ at
www.general.ca)

There are now 'Junior' CNC routers available at some pretty good
prices.

General is Canadian made.
General International has stuff made all over-the-place, mostly
Taiwan.
Sometimes a blend of a Canadian made T-fence on a Taiwanese hybrid
table saw.

I think some Excalibur products are still sold by (now) General
International, but I believe some have been discontinued such as the
fence products. I seem to remember someone looking for a fence rail
and contacted General to find they're not available anymore.
