!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , Think of something you might need, and they probably sell it (supply-wise) 510,000 products. From raw chunks of Titanium to dummy surveillance cameras (including pre-made carbon fiber!). I'm going to get some of their T-slotted aluminum framing products to build a new adjustable steering wheel stand for my Fanatec GT2 wheel and CSR-E Pedals.

Definitely the best store on the interweb. I just bought about $200 worth of supplies for my upcoming attempt at knifemaking

yeah, I just stumbled across it today whilst searching for framing ideas. that website is extremely well laid out as well. I just didn't know if anyone outside the industrial business world knew about it. Also: CAD drawings of almost EVERY PRODUCT are available to see and download. THAT is awesome.

If McMaster doesn't have it, you don't need it.

McMaster is fucking sweet, their prices on raw materials are expensive but they have everything and are fast about shipping. We used them a lot back when I did FSAE in college.

McMaster-Carr has long been my secret supply for O-Rings for High Preformance Airsoft Gun Builds.

Yup they're super duper awesome. They haven't always sold to punks like us; they used to be just for industry.

Their warehouse in Robbinsville, NJ is HUGE. The clerk that works pick-up has their own tricycle to get around. They also employ alot of people with engineering degrees to for technical help. Its a good company, doing it right.

I use them all the time ordering for my school's competitive robotics team, especially with their ability to have the package show up the next day. There are times though that MSC ( www.mscdirect.com ) is the better option but it depends on what you are looking for.

It's even better when you can have same day delivery from either one.

Unfortunately their nearest warehouse isn't that close to us.
