Price of cast iron?

[AndySomogyi]

I’m also looking for cast iron, but as you say, price of Dura Bar is beyond insane.

I can not believe they sell it to shops at that price.

Dave... the interesting thing about McMaster is they are real good with drop shipping. Lots of stuff I order from them arrives within a day. Not as good as same day... but pretty damned good. Plus, they don’t rape you with shipping and handling charges either. McMaster is pretty fair with shipping cost. Great company with great service.

I've been very happy with McMaster, their price isn't always the lowest but quality is good and the descriptions on their website make it easy to shop online with confidence. Shipping isn't free either but very reasonable, I just bought a new leadscrew and feed rods for my lathe from them @ 60" long and shipping was $26. Showed up the next day packaged well and exactly as described.

I appreciate ordering from a professional outfit that has what I need when I need it. The lack of aggravation makes up for any extra expense in my book.
