Yes, Fastenal is local but they do not stock very much rod, I am going to use 2 start rod for the CNC and their price is crazy. This is where I bought my last piece for the thickness sander.
I may have to bit the bullet and pay the price. I am still searching. Living in the "rear end" of Canada, has advantages, (a beautiful place) but I have searched for a certain type of foam for our electronic drums we built, and ended up going south of the boarder. Our whole provience has only one million people. (small market).
I will start a new thread, for the thickness sander rather than mix it with CNC. I sometimes have a hard job chewing bubble gum and walking.

I will put it in "show and tell".
Thanks for the link.
Have a great day, "Canada Day" for us.
