With all this dialogue about resubmitting querys, I was hesitant to ask
about silicon carbide shelf pricing and the best sources for the same.
Nevertheless, a friend just got the new pricing structure from a
nationally known retailer for 14"X28" shelves. seems the price has gone
up dramatically in the last few years since his last shelf order. They
are now asking approximately $80.00 for the same shelves he purchased 2
yrs. ago for $64.00. Sorry I didn't save any of the posts about carbide
shelf prices, but, can anyone shed any light on less expensive sources?
TIA

Tom,

I just purchased bonded silicon carbide (C-12 mix)from New Castle
Refractories. They quoted $55.84 each for 12 x 24 for under 43 peices.
There are quantity discounts. There is an additional one time die set up
fee of $50, and $30 crate fee, plus shipping. If you buy more than 44
peices, the price goes down and there's no set up fee.

I'm very satisfied with the quality of the shelves and the service.

The next lowest dealer I found is Axner, but I think they must buy theirs
from Newcastle because the specs were the same. Axner quoted $61 per
shelf 12 x 24. Everyone else was at least $20 higher.
