Title: Casting metals
Post by: PTsideshow on January 21, 2012, 10:56:48 AM
This outfit is new to me, with free shipping  on 5 to 15 pounds it might be a good one for the hard to find casting material.

PT -- $10/lb for aluminum?  Extruded 6061-T6 bar stock costs $6/lb at my local distributor (though my Chinese competitors are paying closer to $0.50/lb).  I grant you it has been 3-4 years, but I paid less than $3/lb for AA208 casting aluminum.  Many of the "deals" I see today are like going to the grocery store and paying $6000/ton for lettuce that I know farmers are only getting paid $50/ton to produce...

I was thinking of the other items listed rather than the common stuff.
