Wow - that 2" - pallet of it - Hum - an indexing system feeding a strip of
2" by 48" - driving the plasma machine cutting out whatever.

Now for that 1 of a kind spring metal widget!

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

I need some flat spring steel and wonder where I could find it, maybe
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".
