Yes, made in Germany. Excellent quality. I did my research, they make the best ... what can I say? Highly recommended.

Yes mine was manufactured in Germany. This product like many German products will provide you with many many years of outstanding workmanship. There are lines of Metabo products that I have been told are assembled outside of Germany but as far as this grinder, it is still being assembled in Germany as of the date of this post.

i do not think the one I bought was re-manuf. it was new...also you have to read them carefully and see that it is made in Germany...some are made in us..i bought the tool because I was made in Germany. it is still in the box not used yet so I can't say much else about it at this time. but it seems that this company makes a lot of grinders....so I am hopeing that this one is good.

Mine was made in the WMF factory in China. I spoke to WMF about it and they said everything is done to the same standards as the products made in Germany.

Since Grinder worked so well I through the box away. Registration and Patent info on the bottom indicate source is Hong Kong & China. Uses: anything not hard.I only buy & drive American cars, Hope you do!!

I just double checked and this is stamped "made in Japan" on the actual grinder itself. I think it is safe to say this model is still from Japan. I bought this as a father's day gift for my husband so my model is just a couple months old. Hope that helps!

I do not have an answer to the first question. Mann filter C 3698-2 is made in Germany.

I can give you info from their website: "Linden Sweden, Inc. is the U.S. headquarters for Linden International AB, a well known Swedish manufacturer of stainless steel products and plastic kitchen gadgets." So... it looks like it is manufactured in Sweden. The link for their website is http://www.lindensweden.com/index.htmlI have two of these grinders and I really like them. They seem to be a quality product.

It is made in PRC. It is very well made and so far works flawlessly. Quiet, powerfull and no vibration. Metabo is supposed to be a German company! Designed in Germany and build in PRC?

That's a 4.5 angle grinderThe question is: do you need that exceptional grinder for a once a year user.I don't call that an investment. I use that tool everyday in the last 6 year.

Hi, I have the same grinder and have never had that problem. If you haven't done this already, remove the collet completely, check for any burrs inside and try your bit in it off the grinder. If it still doesn't fit, perhaps the bit isn't the right size? All the 1/4 inch burrs I've bought have worked well in mine. Sorry I can't be of more help.

My grinding unit is not marked. However, I believe this was manufactured in China. I threw the box away, so I can't be sure. I seriously doubt anyone in the US would manufacture and sell a unit like this for $60 out the door. You didn't ask, but I'll tell you I'm happy with it. Some of the silver (galvanized?) paint/plating will come off with use. I've probably ground up 100 lbs or so of deer meat so far with it. Keep your cutter and plate free of sinew, and it should do very well for you. I hooked mine up to a 1.5hp motor. Works great. Also, clean your bearings immediately after use and DRY THEM. I found out the hard way if you don't get them completely dry, they will rust. I had left them in the utensil holder on my dish rack to drip dry, and it didn't work out very well. I recommend drying the best you can (maybe low pressure from an air compressor?), and then lubricate with some kind of approved food-grade / edible lubricant to keep the bearings from rusting. I ended up putting my bearings in a rock tumbler with some media to get the rust off, and then they were fine. Good luck.

Sorry I don't know. My daughter wanted a grinder and this had some good reviews. She likes it a lot so it must be pretty good. Good luck

Yes, the Baratza Vario-W has 54mm ceramic flat burrs, made by Malkonig, a leading manufaturer of ceramic burrs in Switzerland. This is a great grinder.

No , they are made in Taiwan. Also I had a problem with my right angle grinder. I contacted AP, they offer to send me a replacement parts or I could just mail the unit to their service center in S. CA

10 years ago the Bosch angle grinders were made in Germany, Switzerland and USA. Now their hand held grinders are made in China.

I dont know any chinese manufacturer that is trying to copy these. They certainly wouldnt be this expensive either. As far as grind do you mean angle of the edge? If so Im not sure what it would be called. Its not a standard 20. Its a slow regression towards the spine and evens out about halfway. Its a bit of a pain to get used to sharpening, but rarely needs it, and is super sharp. Its my hunting knife.

I looked the grinder over thoroughly and found no markings to identify the manufacturer. This leads me to believe the thing is made in China or Mexico. The overall quality of the casting is average to below average, so the longevity of this unit is in question as far as I am concerned.

The bottom of the machine says it's made in Slovenia. The Bosch Styline mixer takes attachments from the Bosch Compact mixer; since the Styline is new in the US, there are currently more Compact attachments available--and availability is usually pretty good with resellers or even eBay. I've purchased and used a meat grinder made for the Compact, and it works great!
