To those who have made a recent purchase, is this sander still made in Germany?

Yes...I do kitchen remodeling and many of my jobs are re-facing. This sander is perfect for this and the dust is minimal. Highly recommended!!

Made in Germany with components ftom Germany & Turkey. It is a well made vise & has served our purposes well so far.

mine were made in Austria, but I purchased mine 2 years ago. I've heard they started making them in China so I'm not sure.

Yes it is made in Germany. Mine did not last long, but keep in mind that I iron just about every day. The cord at the base of the iron has a contact problem and having it repaired cost a fortune.

Mine is marked "Made in Germany". It is a wonderful tool and does the job. You may want to take a look at this: Apparently the company is owned by DeWalt and DeWalt is owned by a Chinese company.... looks like we lost another! http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110509143514AAJ0vXy

I doubt it's made in Germany anymore, like the original ones were. Pottery and ceramics have been mostly outsourced to China, we're I'd guess it's made now. But the quality seems very good, nevertheless.

Actually this particular model IS made in Germany. As apposed to the newer Chinese model.

I bought one today here in France. It was made in Germany. Likewise one I saw yesterday in another gun shop.

Mine says Made in China. A bit (a lot) disappointed as the box it came in said Made in Germany and that is THE reason I opted to make this purchase. I am contemplating a return.

Mine have the brand name stamped on the bottom, but it does not say "made in Germany".

Yes. Both are made in China. BTW: Best hammer drill/drill driver I've ever owned.

Made in Germany for more endurance then normal DREMELS, mine lasted 2 years with very heavy, daily use until it needed a new circuit board, under full warranty. Cost is double what a better DREMEL would be, but I have 5 of them too, all burned out and too expensive to fix.

One important difference is that the warranty is different. I took my sander in for warranty repair about a month after I bought it and it has been in warranty/repair limbo for over a month.

I think it originated in Germany or maybe the parent company is still there. My iron is working great and I love it.

I recall that this item said that it was made in Germany when I purchased it. I just checked and there is no country of origin stamped in the metal, so any label must have been removed.

This machine is made in Germany. This is a great machine if you are working on large flat surfaces and you need to lean on the sander and if you have a dust collection system-it will take the abuse. I actually use the ROS65VC more than I do the 1250 because I am working on furniture. The ROS65 is made in Switzerland and its dust collection system is so good you don't need to have it hooked up to a system. But you can't lean on it like you can the 1250.

It sounds like it depends on who is selling it. The one I received was the one put together in China. But the one that is shown here is the one that is German assembled. So, I am sending mine back to get the correct one.
