Im in corpus christi, tx. Sadly, a city of 500,000+ with refinerys and oil has no professional "public" anodizing shop. I might get with MBG on some nuts I need anodized.

I asked the guy at Fasteners-Express about that and he said that they anodize all of their nuts with the nylon installed. I went ahead and ordered them from them and got some 1/2-20 and 3/8-24 from...

Looking for a economical way to black coat some of my products that are aluminum and I do not have a local anodizer anymore. Has anyone used this from Birchwood Casey? Im gonna send them a few test...

Sucks for them. Maybe they won't dick around the next guy. I'm not a pissed off person, but I don't appreciate being lied to!

Does anyone know of a GOOD legit nickely alloy scrap metal processor? That website listed above looks to not be updated. The phone and email is not working.

That only works if the company you work for actually appreciates a good, REAL machinist. I went out of my way and went "above and beyond" when I was working for a massive oil field company as a...

Are there any tool manufactuers in Michigan that will deal with a individual? Im trying not to go through a middle man. Looking for carbide endmills at a good price in bulk.

I spoke to John today. JTS Machinery has them beat by $1.50 each. I will keep him in mind though for any future purchases.

nothing on those lists, and no endmills on sale that I see.

I wish they would put some updated lists on the site for the specials.
