I need a nice clean piece of SS, about 6" square, or thereabouts (6 x 8) for
a dashboard plate for switches on my new wooden dashboard. Anyone got a
scrap laying about? I am going to check this coming Friday in Vegas, as the
company I used to do business with always had a nice SS rem pile with lots
of small pieces. Can be thin gauge.

Thanks

Can you cut what you need from a bigger piece. I have pieces from .005
and up. Located in Central Oregon.

I have some mirror polished 20ga left over from a job
It's a bitch to cut but I can rough cut a piece on the bandsaw for you.

Thanks, but just looking for a piece where no one would have to go to any
special effort for. The place in Vegas where I used to go had lots of
scraps. Curtis Steel. I'll check there. If it is anything like the old
days, there will be plenty. I just thought someone might have what I need.

I finished the dash today, and got it bolted on with NyLocks. Got the
trolling motor all mounted to new woodwork on bow. Had to reach as far as I
could to get to the nuts up in there.

Doing the upholstery on the seats next, then do the wiring, a couple of
rubber runners underneath, and I'll be ready to fish.

About time, too.

Last pieces I hd that size were the side panels of a burned out, el
cheapo, toaster - mirror finish.

Hey, did you get your stainless?
I have to switch to a fine tooth blade on my bandsaw to cut up a bunch of
thinwall tube.
It will be the perfect time for me to saw you out a piece of my scrap 20g
mirror finished sheet.

Wouldn't an abrasive wheel/chopsaw be much better for that?

Oh, thought this was SS, as well.
Hmmm.... part on a lathe, then? IF you had 5C collets, I spose.... Just
armchair QB'ing here... lol

I think if my abrasive chopsaw died, I'd close up shop. Good thing they're
only $60 at Sears... lol
