Warning for those living North of the border:



After having placed an order last night, and having it confirmed by email, I just received a note from MacMaster, stating that "due to the ever increasing complexity of United States export regulations, McMaster-Carr will only process orders from a few long-established customers in Canada."

 

They could have placed a notice on the web site, but they let your order go through, confirm it, and only then they check your address. Aggravating.



What's worse, I don't think there is comparable source of tools and materials... Or is there?

Hi Carlos,



 Travers Tool is a great source of cutting tools and the like.  Also take a look at MSC industrual supply.



 Alas, McMaster is the best there is IMHO for wide assortment of materials, fasteners, etc.

Thanks for the tip, Paul

I am looking for UHMWPE bar for the HD gear slides (1"x0.25"x8" times .

Found it in MSC, which you coincidentally suggest.

Carlos

Hi Carlos,



I'm happy to recommend MSC.  I've received excellent service from 

them on many occasions.  I usually buy cutting tools (like hand 

reamers) from them.  They have many warehouses, but I don't know how 

close any of them are to Montreal.  I live on the other side of the world.

I placed an order with MSC yesterday. At first sight, they seem to be comparable to MacMaster, in terms of stock variety.
