Hi Paul,

    This is a tad bit off subject, but I know a lot of the guys on your list (as well as myself) buy from Harbor Freight.  Over the past five years I've probably bought fifteen thousand dollars of
merchandise from them, but today I got quite a surprise.  I bought several items, one of which was a eight inch rotary indexing table for my machine, and they have now tacked on $8.99 for shipping
on $35 or more.  -  That's over 25% on a $35 dollar item, and any sale over $50 used to be free shipping!  I think one rather obvious California politician may have said it best; "Hasta la Vista
Baby!"
    The internet is a common home to all of us, so if anyone stumbles upon tool suppliers with less propensity to gouge their customers please post them as they come along.

Thanks,
Robin

One on the problems with shipping these days is the $2.50 a gallon price 
of diesel fuel here in CA. Harbor Freight is still the cheapest I have found.
They have some real bargains in power tools.
