Getting Started

  • I think I am at the wrong place because I am not interested in industrial robots. I am looking for a place to purchase small gears, sprockets, ball chain, etc

    Help would be appreciated.

  • Been there, done that, I was hoping you guys had some insight into a source. I didn't come to this site to get criticized by some smart ass, self-proclaimed genius.

  • Thanks. Some of this stuff is incredibly expensive.

    Yeah, McMaster charges a premium for having everything in one place.


    Generally I use McMaster for getting a prototype up and running. In general you can usually find out where McMaster is sourcing their stuff, then go directly to their source if you want to do a larger run. They are typically pretty bad about removing the labels of where they bought it.
