Hi All
I was reading customsawyers post about guide rollers and thought 8) some sources for supplies would be helpful. I owned a machine shop for 15 years and have dealt with these companies they offer reasonable prices, free 800#'s, free catalogs and good customer service.

MSC Industrial Supply 800-645-7270
   www.mscdirect.com

Surplus Center 800-488-3407
   www.surpluscenter.com

northern toolhttps://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?action=position"> Note:Please read the Forestry Forum's postion on this company 800-556-7885
   www.northerntool.com

Harbor Freight Tools 800-423-2567
   www.harborfrieght.com

You do have to be careful of Harbor Freight their prices are super low but some of their products aren't commercial quality (they are serviceable for the price). I have some other sources for speciaized stuff that I'll have to dig out. Give these companies a call ( especially MCS their catalog is huge 3,000 some pages and it is easier to find things with the in the book than online) and order a catalog. Hope this helps someone ;D ;D ;D ;D.
