Any hope of selling press bolster plates for usable?
I came across a bunch of steel bolster plates:
http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/bolsters.jpg They go on big punch presses and such, as you know. My question is, do I have a hope of selling them for usable material at, say, above 60 cents per lb? I have been able to sell solid steel bars and big rounds for about $1/lb on average, for example. People buy them for "anvils" or whatever. i |

Cutting scrap steel with gas or plasma may leave blade-ruining hard spots. My typical projects are smaller than an inch. I just made a feeler bracket to complete a used Blake coax indicator and am now working on Variac brush holders. -jsw |

Just a thought - and like he said - put on on the tail end of your forklift... :-) Martin |
