Is this the Most Efficient Way to Buy Cutting Tools?

How many times have you had a tool you wanted to bring into your shop, but the process to get it in the door was borderline ridiculous? Catalogs? No credit cards accepted? Find your local representative? I just wanted to buy some inserts! In this Episode of Machine Shop Talk, Ian Sandusky talks about the pains most of us go through when buying cutting tools or inserts, and reviews TechMet’s new online store. If that name sounds familiar, it should—TechMet is the leading supplier of carbide tool blanks in North America—so whether you know it or not, you’ve more than likely used their products. The company now produces their own line of tools and inserts, and recently launched their e-commerce website, making ordering inserts or cutter bodies is as simple as checking the weather online.
