Maybe I don't understand SKU #'s. Is that another term for manufacturer's part numbers.

I thought a SKU was a number used by a warehouse facility to control items on the shelf in that warehouse. Example: When Woodcraft stocks a bandsaw blade they use a SKU # rather than an Olsen part number.

I think of SKU numbers the same as the manufacturer's part numbers or in the case with SS, item numbers.
SS 500(09/1980), DC3300, jointer, bandsaw, belt sander, Strip Sander, drum sanders,molder, dado, biscuit joiner, universal lathe tool rest, Oneway talon chuck, router bits & chucks and a De Walt 735 planer,a #5,#6, block planes. ALL in a 100 square foot shop.

A Google search on this subject indicates that you might be correct. It really depends on how the number is used and by whom.
