I have been searching suppliers/manufacturers looking for the following, 
and have been unable to come up with anyone but resellers. If any one 
might no where to source these it would sure help me out:

Wanted mandrels to mount buffs on the end of an electric motor. Specs are 
one end with either a 5/8 or 1/2 in female hole/ the other with 1/2" 
thread either left or right hand. Sometimes referred to as a stub mandrel 
. 

Thanks

Valerie --

You might try using the online Thomas Register for your search.  It seems to be the 
same data as their books, but 'also' usually includes a description of each 
company's products, plus their telephone numbers, fax numbers and zip codes (and you 
can copy/paste!).  Online Thomas requires that you initially register to use their 
service, but usage is free.

They're at:

I tried searching for "mandrels" in the online Thomas and got the following summary 
of search results:

     Mandrels (99 companies)  
     Mandrels: Carbide & Carbide Tipped (17 companies)  
     Mandrels: Coil (4 companies)
     Mandrels: Dental (2 companies)
     Mandrels: Expanding (42 companies)   
     Mandrels: Filament Winding (1 company)
     Mandrels: Jewelers' (10 companies)
     Mandrels: Lathe (12 companies)  
     Mandrels: Precision (25 companies)   
     Mandrels: Saw (8 companies)  
     Mandrels: Taper (12 companies)

Taper mandrels might be a good category for you -- I looked at the companies in this 
category and some of them had product descriptions that looked to be of interest.

Good luck!
