    As a mechanical engineer I’ve used this site an insane amount

    Adding: Mcmaster-carr is expensive though, but you are paying for next morning delivery, 3D models, dimensioned drawings, and detailed specifications with certifications, of everything they offer in an easy to use website. And they did all this before Amazon existed

    They even have plugin for CAD software SolidWorks so you don’t even have to visit the website to access their models and can build a book of materials from your SolidWorks assembly. But the price adds up and l often eventually switch over to other suppliers later if the design goes into high enough volume production.
