Any thoughts regarding the company Travelers ?

Sent some end mills off to have sharpened, and of course got a hard copy catalog.

What little knowledge for the prices of all things machining related. I like that they make their own mills, think that's a plus.

So over all how do they stack up>

I've used them a number of times and have always been pleased with the experience. They have a good selection, reasonable prices and ship quickly. I would much rather give them my business than MSC.

I've gotten real good deals from them via their ebay listings.

Back in the glory days when Enco was in full swing I refused to buy from Travers (no L) because they had the highest prices of all the distributors I purchased from when comparing apples to apples. I bought from them a couple of times and was hit with ridiculous shipping charges for tiny items. With Enco's demise they seem to have come down to a more reasonable pricing structure and realistic shipping charges. Thumbsup

They also seem to be the only 'authorized' Noga dealer in the US. Then I was looking for spare parts for my Noga mini-cool, Noga's owner emailed me from Israel and directed me to Travers and told me they could order anything I needed. I have since purchased a number of Noga tools from Travers and satisfied with their service. As Ed mentioned keep an eye on ebay to find better prices from them.

I've bought from them a number of times, both direct and on ebay. They had a closeout sale a while back where we were getting grinding wheels for a couple bucks each, hacksaw blades and spiral point taps for pennies, ... I never had a problem with shipping, but I never bought real heavy stuff - except the mill sharpening attachment I bought but that was on ebay with free shipping.
I bought from Travers for years and have always been satisfied.  Only made one mistake on an order and it was quickly corrected.  Since I was buying for schools I was given a sizeable discount which they also applied to my personal purchases.
Good info, I'll keep them as a source...... Shipping, blows my mind a company wants to add 50% to items that could easily ship USPS  ?

As to finding them on Ebay, is there a filter you guys use to see their offerings. Or is the filer a scroll key and the next page click?

I've only bought from Travers once, a Noga indicator holder. I ordered over the phone, quick & easy, and it was delivered two days later.
