Aluminum material sources

I'm not familar with the supply houses near Boston but buying full lengths is the way I always go. The supply houses around here will charge a cutting fee so the full length doesn't cost much if anything more than the shorter piece and the cutting fee. That way I have the material for the project at hand and then extra for future projects. I have been known to take a hacksaw with me or if I have the rig to cut the material in the parking lot with a chop saw so that I can carry it.

Most places would rather sell the full length so that they don't have to do the cutting. Capt Ron

Thanks, that gives me some idea of pricing, even for VERY small quantities (like 12"). I'm still looking for someone on the east coast, preferably around Boston.

I'm in southern ME and deal with both of these places. They'll deliver if you're their route and have a place to unload. Check out Yarde's Drop Zone--if you can find what you need there the prices are excellent.

Around here in Vancouver, Canada scrap Aluminum is about $2 Cdn ($1.66 US) a pound.

Thanks, I only just got around to actually finding them on the web;
