HI

Can anyone tell me a good place to buy aluminum sheet metal, suitable for
electronics chassis work, in the Montreal area? Or in Canada?

Custom cut to size would be good...



Metal Supermarkets has stores in Ontario, not Quebec yet.

You might also check with a local heating a ventilation sheet metal
company. They usually have all of the tools to do up things like chassis.


Macineman: You need to think about what you are writing before
replying. HVAC shops are hack shops. They get the job done, sure, but
+/- 1/16" is tight tolerances for them. They never work with aluminum.
Electronic cabinets take really tight tolerances and are generally
made of 5052-H32 because it is cheap and has good elongation. None of
this is an opinion. If the man wants to buy aluminum sheet why doesn't
he look in the Yellow Pages. That is what they are for. Leigh at
