Is there a on-line metals place that has metric dimensioned brass rectangular stock? I would rather not machine the steadyrest fingers from imperial stock since it's going to result in a bunch of brass filings.
A lot of them do.

Name one.
Yup. Another RFQ. I want perhaps a meter of 8mm square stock.
Is 5/16" close enough?

And for that, 8951K23 at mcmaster is 22.68 for 6 feet.

8mm is .3150, 5/16 is .3125
Makes me feel like I'm conducting brain surgery on a paper cut. How will the chinese ever forgive me for .0025" of slop?
You expect the stock to be that accurate?

Probably no chance that it (stock) would be on the plus side of tolerance ;(

Ditto I need about 1 meter of 12 mm square brass stock, no luck at any of my usual suppliers. I'll probably try to settle for 7/16 " (11.11mm), but I'd be very grateful if anyone has a reasonably priced source for the metric size in the US.
