Hard to beat a local supplier if you can find one as posting large lumps of steel can work out expensive. Other options are buying at model engineering shows and checking out local scrap yards. Where in the country are you? |

He's in Liverpool according to his profile. I've used Noggin End but as stated above if you only want one piece or a small quantity then the carriage charges are a large percentage of the cost, in which case Chronos include postage in their prices which is useful if you want say a piece of 1" MS bar. Only a limited range though. Gary |

Yes, just outside Liverpool (closer to StHelens really, edited profile to show) Postage cost is something I'm aware of that's going to be a limiting factor. I've been aware of noggin end for a while, I got a few bundles from them when I first got the boxford. I'll take a look at M-Machine metals, their catalogue looks to have a decent selection. :) |

I usually go to the metal supermarket. http://metalsupermarkets.com/ |

Ok, my local steel supplier just quoted me £80 +vat for a 300mm length of 100mm square mild steel. Is this expensive? Seems like it to me :( |
