What The Future Holds
Metalworking
In 2001, after hearing frequent comments and positive encouragement from potential customers for years, we began offering a list of quality metalworking machinery for the small to medium sized machine shop. Today you’ll find over three dozen product offerings in our metal working section, with more on the way.
Excalibur
In 2003 we acquired the assets of Sommerville Design, the manufacturers of the “Excalibur” brand of scroll saws and woodworking accessories. Now the renamed “Excalibur by GENERAL ” brand is a very successful and integral part of our product line-up.
Riving Knife Retrofit
In 2009 we became the first, and to date only manufacturer of table saws, to design and offer a true riving knife retrofit kit, for our older model 350 and 650 cabinet saws. Allowing owners of older versions of these models to upgrade to this new safety feature without having to buy a whole new saw.
Looking Ahead
Today, we continue building on our proud heritage, while looking ahead to find new and innovative ways to provide you with quality products that you can count on in your shop for years to come. You won’t find GENERAL products in every store, instead we partner with select retailers who stock and support the products they sell.
