Cheap Broaches?

Post by staffwalker »

Can someone point me to either the post on here or to the company that sells broaches much cheaper than at MicroMart? I remember a post some time back but can no longer find it. All searches have failed both on Google and on here. I remember the person saying they were used to clean wax models in jewery making.

Thanks

Less than half the price of Micromark and cheap shipping.
Regards,
Frank.

Careful. I ordered four sets from this supplier on Nov. 14th, have not received them yet. When I inquired I was given an invalid tracking number. I am assured that the order has shipped and that sometimes tracking info does not show up on the USPS website. It may be cool, but I'd advise anyone who has not ordered yet to wait and see how this turns out.

Okay, got the broaches today. I suspect that they didn't ship them until I inquired, and the tracking number they sent was too new to show up on www.usps. Rather than admit to late shipping, they did a few back-and-forth emails. All's well that ends well, but if I order again I'll ask for a tracking number up front.
