In general here, IMHO, http://amtektool.thomasnet.com/viewitems/precision-ground-flat-stock/o-1-tool-steel-oil-hardening? However, you can also search for sales from various sources.

Call Aldo. He has some but it is not on his website.

There is also http://www.victornet.com which has some great sales on O1 most of the time.

What size you looking for?I have a bunch of 0-1, 3/16,and I probably don't live over 20 miles from you.

I just looked on Victor's site and saw some of their sale prices are cheaper than Aldo. Thanks for the link!

cheaper isn't always better!! Just sayin

I like options though, and I like consistency even better...

Me too. I like Aldo for most things but so far, Victornet has been consistent all of the way. No complaints from me.

okay I just rechecked Aldo's list and it seems he's marginally higher on a few sizes and substantially cheaper on some of the other sizes... I compared the two links given here against his list....

again, my whole purpose of this thread was to find a steady supply of O1 as Aldo's from what I understand was a one time buy, whether he gets more I don't know..

but in the meantime I think I'm going to be placing my order with Aldo.. I'll have to give the others a go next time around and cross compare..

Thanks for the links guys..!!!
