    Best place to pick up tooling

    Hey folks interested in finding a source for end mills/surfacing bits/roughing bits/ workholding tools/ for a small benchtop mill, my normal source seems to of vanished. If you need to know what type of mill, well its blue.Taig tooling should work I have searched the entire web and have came up with a big fat zero. Some of the products I speak of, needing is labeled "Class" So is there another source for these products.Thanks

    For non machine specific try MSC, J&L, Enco, Wholesale Tool, Shars, Discount Machine, Ebay, Penn Tools. Thats all that pop in my head right now. They cover most all the bases in selection and price range.

    The products that you are looking for that are labelled as "Class" are probably from this company

    Try the Atrax brand at Enco. We bought some last week at work and they are nice. Made in USA too!

    I had to lol at "it's blue". I've got one of them too. McMaster-Carr has got a pretty good selection of tools and equipment I think.

    www.jtsmachine.com They have the best prices, they are local for me so I buy everything there, plus I can't find better prices anywhere else.

    I'm biased www.tstool.com is local for me and they have just about everything listed in stock ready to ship. Get their print catalog because the website is new and kinda hard to find exactly what you need. Good prices, imports are great quality and mostly not from communist origins. Friendly and knowledgable staff.
