The thermal arc is 100% made in China. I just got my TA 186 and right on the box it said made in China,I can post pics if needed. From what I've read on welding Web the internals of the blue and red units are made in China to but assembled here in the USA to avoid having to put made in China on the boxes as well. I believe it. But if your going to be upset over a welder being made in China why not be mad over your car parts, car, cell phone, iPad, iPod, TV, shoes, microwave, kids toys, gaming systems, computers etc. there's no way to get a 100% American made product anymore. Even if they built it here in the USA I guarantee they used some type of Chinese product/machine to do it.
