It seems to becoming more common to buy tooling direct from China via Hong Kong bypassing the local rip-off middlemen and saving a whole bunch, even after taking into account the shipping costs. I recently bought an ER40 chuck that arrived 2 1/2 days after placing the order, the price and quality were excellent.

It occurred to me that it might be a good idea to assemble a list of Hong Kong internet sellers who have provided good service to members.

Here's my link.
