These guys provide some old fashioned service for a very narrow range of items, but ones you can't get anywhere else.

My husband had some old equipment of his father's which he tried to get going again. Mc Diven have been in business selling their bandsaw blades for so many years that he was able to contact them and give them measurements etc and be provided with the parts necessary to do the work he needed to do.

So a very specialized industry and one which I suppose is amazing they haven't gone out of business or been taken over by something else.

Price was good too for these hard to find parts.
