Ok... any of you guys deal with them? There is a Motion Industries shop
not
far from my house, and I have looked up a couple items on their website,
but
I haven't done any business with them yet. I was curious how their over
all
business attitude is, and how they might treat a small purchaser /
hobbyist.
Yes I know that will vary dramatically from individual to individual, but
often its also a reflection of the top down management and customer
service
attitude.

The local Motion used to be Lou's Bearings - and I've been buying
bits and pieces from them for 45 years. Never an issue - belts,
bearings, key-stock, couplings - whatever I need that they carry.


If you shop ebay..or want to order bearings...this is a very good
source.....

I have bought some linear rails from VXB. Sometimes they are fast and
sometimes they take their sweet arse time.
