CDCO Machinery Corp

Guys guys, I hear and agree with your points. I to believe that if someone comes here to live and work they need to know the native language of our country. Trust me having to press 1 for English doesn't sit well with me either. I also wasn't trying to say you guys cant complain about CDCO because you don't speak Mandarin and don't understand ect... For me, I am cheap, and machining is at this point a hobby making me no money, so going to MSC which is just over 1 mile from my house is out of question. CDCO has what I need at the price I am willing to pay, and for me the service has been just fine.

The point I was trying to get across is that if you want something someone else is selling, and you can build some sort of bond other than I have the money you have the goods, its usually to your advantage. If its a one time deal, or you simply don't care that's your prerogative (no problem with that), and then of course why invest the time. I was just trying to help fellow members by sharing what has\does work for me so maybe it could work to their advantage as well.

I guess I misinterpreted what you said. Having read this I would have to say I agree completely with what your saying. Nobody out there is cheaper than me when it comes to buying equipment and tools. CDCO fits for certain items...other items I do better buying elsewhere.

This weekend I saw Frank at the Seven Mile fair booth he does on the weekends. He was sleeping... I picked up the mini magnetic indicator holder for $19. It articulates with one adjustment. He opened the box and checked it for me. I got a paper catalog and when I said that they never mailed one (I filled out the request online 3 times). He laughed and said that it cost more for him to mail them than to print them. Then he asked me about machining something for a project.

I have a hobby shop and I make no money so his stuff is perfect for my needs and brings it closer to affordable. Few things on my list: good milling vice, rotary table, ER40 R8 collet set.
