Workshop supplies for Melbourne

Post by auscab » Fri Jul 06, 2012 1:24 pm

I put this up on the Sandpaper thread Ro started. But thought it will get lost in that thread .

If you are in Melbourne this business is a good one to know about.
Len Moss supplies workshops with all sorts of hardware to run your business and never fails to amaze me how he under cuts every one else. Its an old fashioned business, no computers and he is a good bloke.
Ring him 0411 134246
I was buying peroxide yesterday and got prices from 14 p/liter to $9 p/liter len was $7 p/liter
I need it quickly so picked it up from him this morning , while I was there he showed me some 100 ims Metho
I have been paying $83.17 a 20 liter drum for the stuff form the local big supplier, lens price 59 + gst $ 65 per 20 liters .

That's about what normal diggers meth cost for 20L.

I pay $80 for 20L from a local guy and that is a good price so you are getting a great deal.

What brand of sandpaper are you getting off him?

With sand paper I have only bought belts for my linisher so far, Norton I think, and that was a year back so I don't remember how much they were. I have mainly bought Peroxide, Ammonia, Metho today,screws and gloves.
