Default Burr buying

Thos of you who use burrs , where do you shop for them? I cannot seem to find anything locally that has a nice variety.. just basics for dremel.

I do have a catalog here called Wood Carvers Supply, but I'm wondering if there are other catalogs out there that you have used and are happy with? Thanks.

Lee Valley Tools have a nice supply, though it's Canadian. Foredom itself has a small fold out catalogue. Try their web sites.

Woodcraft and Rockler both have a decent supply of burrs, both carbide and high speed steel. Both have online catalogs, as well as paper catalogs you can request.

I usually buy my burrs at carving shows where suppliers set up and sell supplies. However, I've ordered them from Woodcraft Supply, Larry Yudis is the Big Dog at The Woodcraft Shop at 2724 State Street, Bettendorf, Ia 52722 - 800-397-2278 I've also ordered them from Dick Belcher's Carving Supply, 6205 US Route 40, Tipp City Ohio 45371 937) 845-0346. I've also ordered them from Christian J. Hummel company at 1-800-762-0235. ...

Don't forget Rick at Little Shavers. I've ordered them from several other places, but the above are my standbys.
