| A3) What are the requirements to become
a distributor?
We have strived to make this process as trouble free as possible. Simply put, we
do not require a minimum order or stocking. However, we may ask that you provide a
copy of your business license or resale certificate of exemption (sales tax
exemption). We reserve the right to refuse a request to become a distributor for any
reason. Although much of the USA and Canada are available for the addition of
distributors, there are some geographical areas where it would be undesirable for us to
add another distributor. We value our existing distributors as well as prospective
distributors. Please click here for additional
information. |
| A4) I use carbide burs, how do I buy
your products?
Our products are available through an international network of distributors. Contact us with your requirements and we will guide you to a
distributor in your area. |
| A5) How do I get a password for package
tracking and online ordering?
Once you become a distributor, fill out this form and we
will provide you with a userid and password for access to our online distributor tools. |
