I'm sure Enco, MSC, McMaster and any number of other suppliers carry
them. Do you have a problem with Shars? I've purchased several items
from them and have been pleased with both their knowledge of their
products and, considering the very low prices, the quality.

Ned - no trouble with them, just avoiding sites that require registering.

Here's another rave for Shars, I bought three linear scales of the
type in question to mount on my Benchmaster mill and love them!

I have also bought from Shars. Good product at great prices, fast
service, reasonable shipping (at the time).
I also like H&H for similar reasons
