Where To Get Some Plate Steel And A Few Cuts?


Looking for some 1/4" steel a couple few squares and stuff, triangles, and a semi circle or two. 16" by as much as 5' or so on the biggest pieces.

Oh.. and a couple 1/4" steel cylinders... about 6" and 10"dia and only 16" long or so.

A fabricator will probably have stuff that small in the scrap bin or pile.

I got enough steel to build our last two trailers out of my fabricators scrap bin. 6 and 8 foot pieces of 2" square tubing is scrap to them, gold to me. In return, I bring them pizza and drinks, everyone's happy.
