The "old style X5" was new only 5 or 6 years ago ... it was supposedly
the exact same saw as the previous models, only with a five year
warranty. All those carried a "made in USA" label.

Like I said above, I can't find a country of origin sticker on my
(bought in April) X5. The only stickers I can find are on the mobile
base (China). I strongly suspect it's not US made, though. The motor
certainly doesn't look US made, but it has no country of origin marked
on its label either.

Thanks, that's what I thought too.
One of the local tool dealers here still has one on the floor and I
was looking for the made in USA label but couldn't find it. I guess I
better look a little closer.
