Alternatives to Yarde metals for cuttoffs?

Mar 10, 2005 1 Replies

Any one have another good web site to source cutoffs? Online metals is way to expensive for what I need and Yarde is running out of cutoffs in the sizes I use most.. FWIW I'm mostly using 2.5" 303 stainless bar.



Thanks-



Charles, One good source for small quantities of metal is Metal Express. However you need to open an account with them to get decent prices. The web site pricing is aimed at the one time sale to a hobbyist. I have recommended them to a couple of people. They have reported that Metal Express was very good for small quantities of short pieces often beating the big guys they usually dealt with. For me the attraction was buying only what I needed, AND having it cut to size. For instance I bought two pieces of 6" round

6061 aluminum, one inch long! On an order for aluminum bar stock with about 100 different sizes in quantities from 1 to 12 pieces they were significantly cheaper than other quotes I got. Quotes usually come back within half an hour too.
