Placed my first order with All Industrial Tool. Bought three 1/4" carbide double end 4 flute end mills for less than $9 each. Ordered them last Friday and they got here yesterday. Price was very good and delivery was even better. I think I found a replacement for Enco.

Nice, yup they're great but no where near a replacement for enco in my book. Not trying to start another as I know how some feel about MSC but MSC still can't be beat for me personally. Just sharing another experience.
I've been looking for a replacement 3 jaw adjustable chuck. Been looking to get another Gator chuck as I don't use the 3-jaw often & have been happy with my other Gator chucks.
Purchased it from All Industrial as they had the best price & is where I got my last Gator 3 jaw chuck. Turns out GTS (Gator distributor) doesn't have the adaptor I need & it would be months before they can supply. They're currently changing importers I was told.
I was just going to wait but I walked in yesterday & thanks to my sales guy at my local MSC, I will have a Bison Set-Tru for not much more than than the Gator equivelent. I'll take Poland over China anyday!
The Gator would have cost me $706 with adapter delivered. The Bison from MSC with my logged in price was $626 for the chuck + $279 for the adapter. My salesman played around in the system & gave me the chuck for $550 & $250 for the adapter. Have to pay $60 in tax but still an unbeatable deal.
I've been searching, one of the best prices on the Bison I found is from Ajax Tools where I got my Bison 6-jaw & Gator 4-jaw chucks from. Their price is $699 + $299 + shipping. Price quoted in email. Their website price is a bit higher & their ebay price even more. See why I love MSC? Enco was the only place where you could get a good discount on Bison.
BTW, Ajax Tools is another great vendor that I buy from time to time. I just received a new Skoda live center from them. Nemic is another but you have to log in to see pricing. Sometimes their prices were better than Enco.
