We use them here a lot and they do a fairly good job getting us what we need!

 

Yeah they rock. :rockin:

 

Where else can you buy an AC geared motor AND salt and pepper shakers? NO WHERE!

 

I always wanted to go visit them and see what the place looked like.


They do need some website help

 

They sure do. Here is some insulation for my kettle and a glass thermometer for calibration:

Been using them a lot at work for over 10 years and they are always fast.

 

What geared motor did you get?

 

I didn't get one yet but the items of choice per Pol's setup I believe are:

6142K49 Ac Gearmotor W/fan, Face Mnt, 100 Rpm, 7 In-lbs Torque, 115 Vac

Plus

34935K66 mixing blade

Plus

6099K22 SS shaft coupling

 

I've been buying stuff from them for years. Used to do will call pick up so nothing to get excited about, its just a warehouse.

They are really damned good about fast shipping. They also have all kinds of good assortment of parts. In fact one of the best variety for Mfg.

Two jobs ago purchasing somehow entered into an agreement to buy everything from Grainger. BTW - Graingers catalogs suck balls. The whole engineering department was really pissed when they told us no more buys from McMaster.

The engineering manager told the senior buyers that they at Grainger better start buying $hit load of metric parts. 80% of the equipment in production was made in Germany the rest in Japan! Eventually they caved, since too many people complained. I think the buyers were crooked. Too often they tried getting exclusive deals with suppliers and the suppliers they chose were aweful.

McMaster-Carr Rocks!!! :rockin:

 

That's a lot of S's. Did you leave off the last S for "Savings"?

 

Ah cool, thanks

 

I agree with Schlenkerla about Grainger and they're catalogue. I typ only use Grainger for motors...they do have a wide selection of motors.

 

We have two UPS deliveries a day at work. If I place a MC order early in the morning, it'll often arrive on the 4:00 PM UPS truck the same day.

I'm always amazed.

I just want you to know that during one of the sessions at NHC with Vinnie Cirluzo, Vinnie was referencing McMaster Carr.

They tap a small hole in each barrel to sample beers so that they do not disturb the pellicle. They reseal the hole with SS nails. The nails are available at McMaster Carr.

Vinnie went on to say, that among brewers, if you spend too much time paging through the McMaster Carr catalog, they call that, "McMasterbating."
