Jason and Tom, I'm in agreement about supporting local businesses.? They support my accounting firm.? My experience locally with bearing and some other shops is that they aren't manned with the type of knowlege to justify the price upcharge.? Over the many
years I've bought from bearing, motor, ? electrical, machine shops, etc, I've seen a depth of knowledge retiring and not being replaced.? Not a rant but people who understand how things work are becoming more rare.? That is a real loss.? That might be different
in larger markets with a larger pool to draw from but a real issue in some smaller towns.? Dave

I'm with Tom on this one. I have two local bearing supply houses that 98% of the time have what I need, on the shelf in SKF or Nachi. Often a couple dollars more than ordering it online, but I don't care about that. I'd rather pay more, talk
to a live person who knows what they're talking about, and have it the day I discover I need it. We've lost a lot of places like that the last 10 years and I do my best to support the ones that are still around.
