Materials & Tools Boston Gear
US firm specialising in gears of all sorts and sizes.
The website features an on-line
product selector which provides a variety of product information, including CAD drawings
and an easy to navigate process which should lead you to the gears you need for your
design.
EKP Supplies
Precision screws and turned parts for the Model
Engineer. Manufacturers & Stockists for BA Screws, Nuts, and Washers Sheet and Bar
Materials. Tools.
Engineer's
Emporium
Suppliers of kits, steam, petrol and hot-air engines, machinery and spares,
books and manuals. Not the usual engineering
supplier as most of their stock is usually pre-owned and a good proportion is unusual.
Hobby's - The Modelmaker's Website
Enough information, in an alphabetical list, to whet the appetite here. For full
details of what you can order from Hobby's though, you will need to order their catalogue
(they call it an "annual"). You can subsequently order materials on-line but it
is not a secure site.
IntelliCAD
Follow this link to the CAD Manufaturing Solutions site
for a free copy of their IntelliCAD draughting programme. They say: "This is the
basic, no-frills package from the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium. This free download
will give you an example of the IntelliCAD application, but please be aware that this free
release can be several versions behind CMS IntelliCAD 2001 in both bug fixes and
improvements."

Modelpower
Supplier of Battery Holders, Battery Packs, Chargers,
Plugs, Sockets & Leads, Sealed Lead Acid Batteries
and Single Cells. Their site has an online catalogue and orders can be placed over a secure
link. This supplier also attends certain 16mm exhibitions.
Muffet
(S.H., Limited)
"The Gear Specialists" - All sorts and sizes
of gears in various materials. The online catalogue is comprehensive but downloading (per
section) in PDF format is time consuming and the subsequent browsing with Adobe
Acrobat may not be everybody's cup of tea.
Phoenix
Precision Paints
Although "Precision Paints" makes me think of
rivet counters this site is well worth a visit. Their Superspray has been mention in the
e-group as have the Bob Moore lining pens. No direct online ordering but the catalogue and
pricelist is there and we order by e-mail and pay by credit card.
Reeves
2000
A J Reeves & Co (Birmingham) Ltd. who many will
know as "the world's largest stockist of model enginering supplies" are now
under new ownership and continue to offer the same products and services under the name
Reeves 2000.
Sherline Lathes
The Sherline Products On-Line Catalogue. Well made and informative site. On the
Resources page we learn: "The original design for the Sherline lathe was developed by
Australian engineer Harold Clisby in the 1960's". |
