sources for three items
 

1) carbide cutter and insert for vega duplicator-getting a vega for christmas and am looking for a good price on the carbide cutter kit,

2) val-oil, I am running low and have been all over the place looking for more. Been to several Homies, Lowes, Ace, and independant paint stores. can't find it.

3) 8/4 birch or maple, i can get it at woodcraft, but the price is more than I am looking to pay.

any suggestions on where to get these? Thanks!

I PM'd you about #1

Go with ProfessorM on #1 the best.

You can find Val oil on the internet but be prepared to pay for shipping.

I 2nd going with the Proffesor for the insert!!

It would help if your location wasn't "On a Rock"....that way we could tell you where to get some stuff in your area

I'm in Rhody. The professor is the best!

i like to know that one as well.

It took me a year to finally it in a Homies they hide the stuff. And not every store stocks it.

From what I understand Val-Oil is no longer in production from Val-Spar. If you find it buy it soon.

Yeah, a couple of the independants I went to said something similar. I found it online, but shipping is outrageous. It may soon be time to change sealers.
