I have a source of Extruded L111 Aluminium plate. (Aircraft quality) Size 30mm thick x 325mm wide x 1000mm long. Price £60 each if anyone is interested. Based on Density they are about 24Kg each so carriage would not be cheap. Colleague having one as a tool plate for his CNC mill. I am in Cheltenham.
At an SG of 2.7 I make the weight over 26kg unless you really mean they're
305mm wide however if anyone is interested P4D will deliver that for only £6.99 + vat so no big deal.

They used to only cover up to 25kg on the basic deal but now go to 30kg which is very handy. Over 30 kg the price leaps to £24. I've used them a few times for cylinder head deliveries and had no problems. First time I used them I emailed the request, starting packing the cylinder head and the bloody van was here before I'd taped it up. I live in the middle of nowhere too so how they managed that I have no idea.
They also do bulk deals on more than one parcel at a time plus they give you a discount as soon as you've used them just once. 5% I think it was for any further deliveries. Highly recommended anyway so make a note if you think it might be of use to anyone.
My pleasure, I will wait a few days to see if anyone else is interested if ok with you. If I buy a few I may get the price down a bit which I will pass on.
B Hell they will make expensive shelves! This is SOLID extrusion not box! or am I not quite getting it?
Id like 1 please, would have to be delivered unless Mark is picking his up and can get one for me too, which Ill collect from his place (Would that be ok Mark?)
Email here is very old work addy, micro.turbines at google mail dot com works tho.
I need 4 off 500x200mm. It would have needed minimum 10-12mm plate before Rotabroaching and milling the holes, I was working towards making 15mm ribbed castings due to the cost of plate. The 30mm is completely OTT, but the price is right.
"resawing" the stock to 14mm thick, then milling it clean might just be possible, but might produce something too banana shaped to clean up. I can experiment with the 120m off-cut from the first plate. If that succeeds, I've gained a tool plate, or stock for a project :-)
For Dave (or anyone else between Northampton, Rugby, Derby, Nottingham, ish). Store-forward transport is no problem.
I'd be interested in one please. Do you need to know now whether it'll need shipping or not. I may be up in the Stroud area sometime soon so could collect if convenient.
I tried to resist, but can you put me down for two. I am in Felixstowe=20 in Suffolk and will soon be doing trips to Bradford, Southampton and=20 most of the M25 if that goes past any collection/drop off points.
