Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Free McMaster Carr Catalog

Larry,
This is not always true. It cost a good amount of money to print and mail a
3400 page catalog. McMaster-Carr has a great selection of products at a
reasonable price and to keep the prices low, other costs have to be kept to
a minimum. Giving away an expensive catalog to somone who is just going to
browse thru it OR buy just a few $2.00 items per year, would not be an
economical choice. I'm sure they want as much business as they can get and
they do have their entire catalog on line....free. They are a very easy
company to deal with. They give me the same respect whether I am buying
$5.00 or $500.00 worth of merchandise from them.

I am not an employee of McMaster-Carr, just a very happy customer.

If I had known my old catalogs were needed, I would have given them to
whoever wanted it. Anybody want to put thier name on my #107 catalog?? I
usually get a new one every October.
