new2woodwrk Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Would anyone care to share their purchasing resources? I'm looking for a good place to buy blades and other incidentals. I know about Amazon of course, which I use for most of my purchases (about 95%), big box stores etc. I'm more interested in lesser known sites, deal sites etc. I have and use the following: Rockler.com - all kinds of stuff, but I buy mostly Dust related from here Woodworkingshop.com - my sand paper supplier Clockparts.com - I need a better resource for clock parts ptreeusa.com - Another general site I use wynnenv.com - Filters for dust control mlcswoodworking.com - router bits and stuff cpooutlets.com - For refurbished tools - I've bought several, very good deals and no problems with the tools harborfreight.com - my cheap go to for disposables and my coupons grizzly.com - I find them a bit too pricey for me eagleamerica.com - router stuff framingsupplies.com - framing stuff although I make my own frames framedestination.com - framing glass U/V kregtool.com - Jigs and things I got these from posts here: papermart.com - Shrink bags ocoochhardwoods.com - plywood Anything else I'm missing? Thanks in advance Edited February 2, 2018 by new2woodwrk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I've done a lot of research on clocks over the last few years.. and at a small scale standpoint.. I'd purchase from woodworkingparts.com for movements... they are the USA made movements that clockparts.com charges the premium price for and they get them from the same suppliers.. Sloans is the place to get the clock inserts. which is also the same inserts as those others.. but cheaper cost.. I buy mine large scale from a company in China.. which are actually the same ones the suppliers above are selling.. but most people aren't looking to buy 500+ clocks at a pop either.. so the above places should be good sources at reasonable prices on a smaller scale..

Travis Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 We have a new sponsor on SSV. Bear Woods sells Pegas brand blades. I've been playing around with them and really like them. Fast delivery, too. Tell them SSV sent you. On a side note, I'm putting together a section on suppliers. It'll be similar to the Pattern Shops section, but for parts, supplies, and tool suppliers. I'm hoping I can get that finished up by next week. WayneMahler, stoney, KurtP and 3 others 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Grizzly is a hit and miss for good prices.. I by my bigger equipment from them and I typically wait until they run the Holiday sales.. OCtoolguy and new2woodwrk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 I use Woodenteddybear for most of my blade purchases. They always have what I want and are quick the deliveries. Dick heppnerguy OCtoolguy and new2woodwrk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis, not to take anything away from Bear but I bought my first batch of Pegas blades from them before I realized they were in Canada. It took 2 weeks or more to get my order so the next time I'm going to give D & D a try. Just sayin........... Ray new2woodwrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munzieb Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 This may be a little outside of the scroller group but I have used Plexi-glas on several of my projects and this company is very responsive. http://stores.ebay.com/popdisplays I use their amber products for my lamp projects. new2woodwrk, OCtoolguy and kmmcrafts 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
