McMaster-Carr also carries a pretty good selection of gray and ductile iron shapes.

From my personal newsgroup archives:

"Midwest Alloys (800) 526-0548 (815) 338-4608 some of the best quality continuous cast iron bar stock I've ever seen. MANY sizes, shapes, and they will cut off to length."

Whatcha need? I've got a bit laying around, as long as you don't need over 12" X 8" X 2".

As previously mentioned, DuraBar is a good selection, but for small quantities, you also might want to contact American Iron & Alloys

Their VersaBar continuous cast iron is a good product, very comparable to DuraBar, but I think it might be cheaper.
