Subject: Best price on sherline in south Cal.

Well, my wife has finally caved in and decided it's easier to let me buy a
sherline lathe than listen to me dream about it.  So if things go well
I'll be buying one in the next couple of weeks.

I have contacted sherline for the price, and even though I live only an
hour or so from their plant it's cheaper for me to buy it from Blue Ridge
Machinery on the east coast.

I can understand that sherline doesn't want to undercut their
distributors, so now I'm hoping to find one with good pricing somewhere in
southern California.

Does anyone know of a distributor in the L.A area with good pricing.

Thanks for any help

Generally, shipping costs are less than the 8%+ sales tax in CA.  I'd look 
for someone in Arizona or Nevada, that is close.

Actually, even though I live in San Jose, I ordered my Sherline Mill from
Eastern Tool and Supply in Manhattan.  It was actually shipped from San Marcos,
but it was at least 10% off list.  There was a package price, but I don't
remember the numbers.  Eastern advertises in HSM, or you can get the
number from Switchboard.
