Howdy all,
Industrial supply here in Australia is a tad limited and overpriced to put it mildly. Every time I visit the USA or find a source over there it never ceases to amaze me how much amazing stuff you guys have over there and at low prices compared to here. In this vein a friend of mine recently loaned me a Kromhard Drill Co catalogue, from this I discovered Suburban Tool Inc and their impressive product range.
STEEL STRAIGHT EDGES by Suburban Tool, Inc.
I'm looking for reasonably priced but good quality workshop straight edges to buy and resell in the woodworking market here in Australia, non bevelled. A 12" or 18", 24" & 36" would suffice for more guys wanting to check hand planes and jointer tables. 5 tenths per foot is sufficient for the fussiest of woodworkers I should think!
Before I approach Suburban I'm wondering if anyone out there can recommend another source for a high quality alternative? I'm not the least bit interested in entertaining the cheaper 'Asian' or other suppliers.
