Best online US source for cutting tools
Hi, looking for a good USA based online source for good quality
cutting tools like coated sub-micrograin solid carbide end mills, pre-ground carbide lathe bits, drills, boring heads, T-slot cutters, counterbores, polishing supplies and so on. Reasonable price is good, but need good quality, service and depth of stock. I *don't* want to deal with McMaster-Carr for various reasons, one of which is that they almost always hide the real manufacturer and full specs, which I like to control, and I'd prefer something a little better than what I think KBC and Enco carry. Any suggestions? We're in the process of equipping a couple of prototype shops so we will be needing a fair bit of that kind of stuff. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."

I've had good experience with both MSC and J&L, though my dealings with J&L were before they were accquired by MSC. |

I like J&L. Same company as MSC and enco but they carry a bit better qualtiy line on several items. With a business name and account on file, they give 25% off on any order of five or more items if you ask for the discount. karl |

I can tell you that most metalworking businesses in Chicagoland, whose
liquidations I attended, buy a lot of cutting tools from J&L, and misc. doodads from McMaster. i |

IE, does the 25% discount bring them in line with others selling the same brands? -- Books are the compasses and telescopes and sextants and charts which other men have prepared to help us navigate the dangerous seas of human life. --Jesse Lee Bennett |
