Sorry if this has been asked before but I am looking for a decent source of metal for my lathe. (for decent read cheap). So where do you get yours? So far I have discovered aluminium warehouse .co.uk (no connection) the prices look reasonable. Jon |

Jon I use AW, prices very reasonable but largeish stock sizes and shipping is not free. Good source though for ally. especially pre-cut plate and some bar. What other metals? M-Machine I use. Noggin End I use. Livesteammodels I use [ 'cos I live 3 miles away ] College Supplies I use. Dunno where you are for local stuff do we ?? Dave EDIT Oh! Camberley sorry ... :palm: |
