There was a post on here just before Christmas from someone asking for a source of alloy for casting.
I have just taken an old machine apart and have an alloy base that is about 20 inches by 30 inches and 3/8 thick cast aluminium.
Has ribs underneath, and stands about two inches high with side walls again about 3/8. So quite a chunk of scrap alloy.
Was going to skip it, but thought it might be of use to anyone who can collect it from Oxford. Would also make a base for home-made lathe/workshop machine etc. Or just break up for casting material.
