Affiliate Disclosure
How Machinist Edge is funded — in plain terms.

The Short Version
FTC Disclosure
Machinist Edge is reader-supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you — when you buy through them. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What Affiliate Links Are
An affiliate link is a special URL that lets a retailer know you arrived from our site. If you make a purchase, we may receive a small commission. The price you pay is exactly the same as it would be otherwise.
Amazon Associates
Machinist Edge is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
Other Programs
We may also participate in other affiliate and advertising programs from time to time. The same principle always applies: any link that earns us a commission costs you nothing extra.
Our Commitment
Commissions never buy a better rating. Our comparisons are built from published specifications and verified owner reviews, and our editorial judgment is independent of any affiliate relationship. We recommend tools because the data supports them, not because they pay more.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. We believe in being transparent about how the site is funded. Questions about our affiliate relationships? Email hello@machinistedge.com.
