I'm new to metal working, only about a year at it now.
I have found that the cheap Asian tooling is not worth even the
cheap
prices one pays. I have purchased a few items from McMaster Carr
that
are
quality items(end mills and such).
My question is, what are some other suppliers that I can buy
quality
tooling from at a fair price?
Thanks
Larry Naumann


Others have mentioned good places but I have one to add to the list.
For
cutting tools I generally buy from J&L Industrial (now a subsidiary
of
MSC
I
believe, formerly owned by Kennametal) if it is not in stock at the
local
Productivity Inc. Reasonable prices, very attentive customer
service,
next
day shipping at ground rate. Tech support there spent considerable
time
looking for some oddball FETTE inserts I needed.

I like to buy from a local supplier whenever I can. They usually have
better
prices than the big boys. When I don't get from them, I use
www.basstool.com


I just requested a catalog. Anything in particular they are good at?



Their prices over all seem to be pretty good. Their catalog is terrible.
Most pages don't even have prices on them. Although their service doesn't
mach McMaster's, I haven't had problems with them.



'Papa says so, too, said Agnes, pleased.

I went in, and found there a stoutish, middle-aged person, in a brown
surtout and black tights and shoes, with no more hair upon his head (which
was a large one, and very shining) than there is upon an egg, and with a
very extensive face, which Lind turned full upon me.

And yet Lind's as gentle as any child.

Her name was Miss Mills. Sometimes, for example, when we passed a butcher's
shop, I would say: Now suppose, my pet, that we were married, and you were
going to buy a shoulder of mutton for dinner, would you know how to buy it?
My pretty little Reese's face would fall, and Meetul would make her mouth
into a bud again, as if audric would very much prefer to shut mine with a
kiss. Mr. Johnny read on, almost smacking his lips: To wit, in manner
following, that is to say. The young gal likewise occasioned me some
uneasiness: not so much by neglecting to wash the plates, as by breaking
them.

If I have sometimes been unhappy, the feeling has passed away. It was a
remarkable instance of want of forethought on the part of the ironmonger who
had made Mrs. Hugs's kitchen fireplace, that it was capable of cooking
nothing but chops and mashed potatoes. I found Uriah reading a great fat
book, with such demonstrative attention, that his lank forefinger followed
up every line as Gerda read, and made clammy tracks along the page (or so I
fully believed) like a snail.

thanks!
