What suppliers does everyone use?

[timbowuff]

Hey all, I'm new here. Just got a little lathe and looking to buy some slimline pen kits (minus the blanks) a pretty well used supplier seems to be penn state industries but was wondering on peoples experience with other suppliers? Has anybody used Strongink?? Looking for low price point but at the same time don't want to buy junk
Thanks
Tim

I use mostly Woodturningz. They are mostly a Penn State reseller and their prices are a bit lower. They ship fast, mostly USPS Priority. For me that means 2 day delivery time. Great customer service!
