wanted: Mcmaster catalog
- Thread starter mrb
- Start date
Not to Hijack, but if anyone has more than one of these, I'm also interested - only after MRB gets his of course.
I called Mcmaster to request a current catalog last week, got a letter today saying they can't fulfill my request as they're only printing a limited quantity. They did reference me to their website as it has their full catalog online, and I agree that the website is great, but that catalog is excellent to keep in our shop, where I don't have internet access.
I would be willing to pay them 5-10$ just for the paper catalog, it's so substantial, that I can't see them giving them out for free.

i probably recieve it because i have an account with them through my company???
not sure how they handle individuals.
i hope i get one. ive had them in the past, then gave them away after i decided to rid of all my books, n ow i realize it was a mistake, i ordered new mcmaster, msc, and grainger.
other good places are fastenal, global industries...they have some nice waterloo boxes for decent prices.
and motion industries has a good selection of tools and supplies.

you electronic guys such as myself, will like newark, and allied electronics.
i think there is a company called cresent who sells electrical supplies...not sure if they are good though, my purchasing dept uses them and they seem to make thing way cheaper.

i think you can get them at the counters around here. I know when i personally ordered some parts on the phone, i told them i would pick them up at the counter. Seems like they had books and fliers in the customer area. But it was over a year and half ago.

Last year, when we got our new one for the year, we called and asked for another. Only 1 per customer for us. Maybe we don't order enough.
Wow I never new anybody that wanted these. They send me probably four or five a year and I toss them out the same day. I always do everything on line with them. I'll check and see if there are any of the 115's laying around the shop when I go to work Monday. I guess I'll try to save them in the future and give them away on here.
