Just an FYI to all of you guys out there...Carbide will be going up 22% all across the board. This means that your router bits, end mills and even saw blades are going to take a hit.

Apparently China is buying up a LOT of carbide and that's making it harder to come by...Supply & demand...

Just a word to the wise to those of you that do high-volume cutting and split hairs against competitors to win bids. You don't want to eat an additional 22% of your tooling cost. For some of us...that's quite a bit!...err so to speak
