BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I was flipping through the various monthly tool catalogs at work, and thought some of you may be interested in this. Enco tool supply has W1, and 01 tool steel rounds in their current specials, as well as 660 bronze, acme threaded rods, and nuts. www.use-enco.com These specials run till Nov.30th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNewman Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Price on W1 was still almost 50% higher than the last price I got from Cinncinati tool steel a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spears Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 A long time ago I started buying things mail ordered through ENCO. Having an account with them and getting their sales catalog has really been a blessing over the years. A month or two ago, they ran a sale on USA made flap wheels for the angle grinder and I purchased $100.00 worth and I'm not sorry. They run specials on very good quality stuff all the time. Once those sales fliers start hitting your mailbox, it's very difficult not to look through them even if your not looking to buy anything. Maybe they're soaking those things in magic temptation dust because I don't seem to get the same effect from the Harbor freight catalog. Happy shopping. Spears.

Certain steel yard items of certain sizes and quantities "can" be found cheaper from the "steel yard". But for machine shop supplies and small quantity purchases, I've found it hard to beat Enco for most anything. Sounds like you found an exceptional deal you might want to get it while the gittens good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shimanek Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 They also had a battery powered high temperature 2400 degree thermometer with k type thermocouple for $70 bucks on page 2, i'm going to get some stuff from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been buying the W1 here in Canada for less than than Enco's sale price for over a year. That is with the steel being brought in from the US. I also bought some O1 from the same supplier and it was cheaper than the Enco sale price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
