The Bridgeport milling machine that my team owns is at least 60 years old, but we still love it. Our lathe is not isn't that old, but almost every other powered tool in our school's shop still has "Made in the USA" metal plates on the side of them. Except for one of the drill presses, which has a lot of "character", most of the tools still work perfectly fine despite being decades old.
