Look, the way that I see it is that local suppliers are like like your teeth, if you ignore them they will go away :gar-La;.
Seriously, I use Klingspor more than WC because of a few reasons, they are usually cheaper, they discount and I like their setup ( used tools, WONC, etc.), most of what is in WC doesn't appeal to me because alot of it is gimmicky. That being said, I use and support both fairly often. If I were buying a large piece of equipment and I could save $150-$300 on it by buying online I would, but most of my purchases are under a $200 and I do them locally to keep the businesses locally, even if I lose 5-10%. I can skip lunch and make tha up :gar-La;.
The one thing that does bother me is that WC gives some turning clubs a discount, and I was told that we don't get one because we are an internet club, which is just plain ridiculous.
Keep doing what you're doing Mike :icon_thum, and either way it turns out I thank you !
