I have used Shars a few times, neither disappointed or excited about their service, rather blah
For carbide inserts, I've had exceptional results from ISI Direct, you have to know what you are looking for, but they usually have a good selection and variable cost, depending on brand, grade and insert popularity.
I have used Grizzly for years, never got a bad product, service had alterted somewhat since they closed their east cost warehouse in Muncy, Pa.
I have used Victor Machinery Exchange, for years, excellent service, quality products and good pricing.
the Enco and MSC group, have never sent me a bad product, pricing is on the high side, unless you use the discounts and the MSC website is a horror to use.
As I'm absolutely against EBay (rotten crooked bastards), I will not shop through them
I have used CDCO for probably 200 purchases, always received what I asked for, never had a shipping problem, but much like my shopping at harbor Freight, I'm extremely careful of what I buy, buy it off the website and never talk to "Frank" the owner, his English is terrible.
There are a few others I've used and will continue to use, but they are very machine or equipment specific.
