They make some heavy duty stuff for strapping BIG stuff like culverts
onto the truck.

Steel banding material is low carbon, it is NOT spring steel which runs
in the .85% to .95% carbon range.

off some old equipment.
Needs to be 1/2 inch wide, 1/16 inch or so thick, and only a couple of
inches long.


Sounds exactly like the bands they strap things together with.


It's also not 1/16" thick. I routinely use it for shims with my square
indexing tool block on my lathe. The material I've found runs from .020"
to .022".
