I don't think there are cheap sources (and it's going to get "less cheap" the higher oil goes) unless you can find a fab facility w/ scrap. Rockler and Woodworkers Supply I think I've seen it in catalogs... |

Machine tooling suppliers such as Enco, McMaster Carr and KBC sell it for
less than the woodworking stores. max Rob V wrote: Anyone have some good cheap sources for this stuff? Im looking for a peice about 36" long x 4" wide about 3/4" or more thickness.

Thanks, Rob You can reply to me at r_b_v at v_e_r_z_e_r_a doht c_o_m (remove the _ to get the address) I've a pile of skeletons of 48" x 96" x 1" black HDPE that you can come and haul off (as much as you want). Mostly irregular shapes, but may have enough for what you want. I'm near Winston-Salem, NC. Regards, Rick |

try Grainger.com as well. They may have a local store in your area.
Also, when I was looking for some there was quite a bit on ebay. |

Ask if they have any drops close to what you need - much cheaper than having one cut. Good luck. |
