   Scott, you might also try posting over at Breaktime.  There may be more people there who've used them.  Good luck!  I wish I had 30 drawers in my future, LOL.

   I have just received an order of 7 grizzly drawer slides for drawers in a cabinet under my workbench and router table. Have not installed yet but the product looks well machined runs smoothly. By the way anything I have ordered from Grizzly exceeded my expectations, this includes casters, clamps, hardware, slides, drill press vice and especially my new table saw. I put a lot of research into that and was especially impressed with how solid and beefy each part was.

   They are very likely made in the same factory. You can get KV slides for the same price. Acurides are only a little more. If you are looking for the cheapest price check out Ebay. You can get lots (Ia box full) for real cheep. And they too are likely the same quality as the Grizz or Wood tek product.

   Make sure that your next project is beyond your skill and requires tools you don't have. You won't regret it.

   Visit your local cabinet shop supplier.  I just bought 100lb 16" full extension slides for approx $4 per set.  I had to buy the full box of 15 sets, but that's still a great deal.

   Cabinet shops buy from the likes of Hogan Hardwoods http://www.hoganhardwoods.com/ 

   I bought mine from a locally owned competitor, Deano Hardwood.

   Call a cabinet shop and ask them where they buy their stuff.

   Lewis and Company is the primary supplier in Texas and one of the main suppliers in the nation. They have very good prices on all things not wooden. The only issue is that you have to spend $100 to open an account. I don't think that you even have to prove that you are a pro shop. However the big suppliers are not going to be as helpfull as the retail places like Rocklers. All though I don't know for sure that the people at Rocklers are all that helpfull.Pardon my spelling,
