I need to get some 1/2" and 5/8" steel balls. They don't have to be super high quality, but I do want them to be relatively inexpensive. I need to get 50-100 of them.
Can a help with a source?

If you don't have to do anything to them, hardened balls for bearings are readily available. Might even find them in one of those hardware store box assortment racks.
Reid Supply has various types.

I've had good luck getting steel and brass balls from an ebay vendor - you may wish to search there
