Form-rol knurl wheels - SMS Machine Tools

[David]

I ordered some Form-rol knurl wheels today from SMS Machine tools in Ontario Canada.
Quoted $18.25 CDN per wheel including bevelling.
The price from KBC Canada is $24.75 CDN per wheel. And they are not bevelled.
I'm rather astounded by the price difference.

How did you order from them? I clicked around a bit & didn't see prices.
Yes it always pays to shop around. KBC is always way higher on Mitutoyo than Thomas Skinner, yet my understanding is they all source from same wholesaler so its about mark-up I figure.

@PeterT I sent them an email for a quote then called to place the order. Easy as pie!

What size do you need? I have stashed some knurling wheels somewhere - I think like a dozen or so.

I ordered three sets of cylindrical pitch wheels, all have 3/16" bore.
straight knurl, 30 tpi, 47 T
left and right spiral, 25 tpi, 34 T
left and right spiral, 30 tpi, 40 T

I have only one set in 3/16 by 1/2 - its 65 tpi straight made in usa.
