Non- magnetic, although actual grade is not important-- sizes are to be 1/16, 5/64, 3/32 and 1/8..

Prices have gone through the roof at my usual supplier...looking for alternate vendors, appreciate any suggestions.

Thx

McMaster has six foot lengths of 303 in:

1/16 @ $10.8 (precision ground)

3/32 @ $2.90 (mill) & $11.86 (PG)

1/8 @ $3.85 (mill) & $14.99 (pG)

No 5/64. You can pick from 0.075 or 0.080" wire, though. May be worth
looking at the other sizes you want "as wire" as well.

Small Parts (AKA Amazon since they bought them out) is far more
expensive.

I might have to just buy all of it in 1/8 and turn it down in the swiss--I
need 4in lengths but as it standsm the max turning length in my screw
machines is 3.94 but maybe i could tweak a linit switch or something and
cheat.

Yes but it is cost-prohibitive.
