Can't comment on where made, haven't been paying attention. On the other hand this is a item contracted out to spec by them, but with out doing research on the conglomerate as a whole I do not know if Oregon has a vested interest in a grinding wheel mfg. anywhere. Other than that I have been avoiding Oregon wheels due to the pricing structure. I can actually have wheels made, in quantity for less. It is a lot harder now than it used to be as the bean counters of corporations are pulling the strings. I have a commercial grinding shop some of my wheels have increased in price over the last several years close to 400%. Due to international conglomerates the grind wheel mfg industry has under gone some radical changes, not always for the better. Norton ( one of the largest) stopped stocking wheels under 14" as on the shelf items and are now listed as special order, 6-8 week delay at exorbitant pricing. A French firm now owns a supplier I have used for years, most of what I use has also been moved to the special order bracket. Additionally I have to go through a distributor ( I use to be a distributor, but the minimum monthly order has risen so high I can't do that anymore) now adding an additional markup to my cost.
