Source for mild steel strip?
I need about 20' of .75" wide 20 to 24 gauge mild steel. Anyone know where
I can get it without having to buy a few hundred pounds? -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite. Watch my progress (or lack there of) at: http://www.rutuonline.com Shameless Commercial Division: http://www.spade-anchor-us.com |

Ask a freight company about banding stuff for shipment - they can probably direct you to someone among their customers who use this material and if you show up in shipping with a dozen donuts .......

The combination of steel banding, a few hole punches, and a spot welder make for lots of useful things. I can't tell you where a dumpster near you is, though. GWE |

If the suggested pallet banding won't work, what about 3/4" strips of
galvanized ductwork metal? Any HVAC shop could shear that off for you , you'd probably only get 8' lengths max. I have 304 SS and AL in that size. Maybe you want a road trip to MN? VBG Karl |
