Source for face plates?

[alxe24]

I'n going to make 2 jigs that are going to use dedicated 2" or 3" face plates. What is a good source to get a few at a good price? I need 1 1/4" x 8 tread. Are the blue ones at CSUSA for $23 or so a good price or can yuo get better (cheaper) ones out there?
Thanks

Check on Ebay. I purchased three sizes in one auction for around $25.00, but mine were 1"X 8 threaad.

Grizzly has 2 inchers for $6, but youd need an adapter to change the threading.

I have not bought anything from him, but he has a good reputation on the Woodnet Forums.

I saw thread cutters at Lee Valley today. They were about $35 I think. Get those and you can make your own wooden chucks.
