I sent them because my tool supplier, a Starrett dealer/rep, told me they do
blade welding, and that he routinely sends blades to them for welding.
In fact, HE sent them!
Don't mind them not welding them, do mind my blades in their garbage.

Again, a peculiar way to deal w/ customers....

Yer local Do-All dealer may do blade welding as well. Good job, too. Ours,
in Queens, NY, has a hellified blade welder, about the size of a desk.
Do-All don't threaten to throw out yer blades.... they may laugh a little,
at quiltwork-blades, but they'll still weld'em...

All I know is I sent them about 20 1"x 130" saw blades for welding, and
they informed me that not only would they *not* weld the blades, they were
going to *throw them out*!!!!
And righteously snippy about it!!!!
Well, you can well imagine the multiple imprints of my head in my ceiling.
They eventually sent them back.

The pernt bein:
If the rest of their company is run like their blade welding dept, they
likely got *big* goddamm problems.
I avoid Starrett like the plague, just on GP.

The company's stock seems down a good bit and I've heard rumors of
one of those accounting scandals and read bits of it on the web.
Supposedly there's a recent WSJ article about it all but I've not seen it
though I suscribe to WSJ online. Anyone know what's up?

Many thanks, Charles Morrill
