Need Expanded Metal, Flat Stock, Tubing, Etc?

You can also try at McMaster-Carr in Chicago, HUGE selection of everything, just watch out for shipping, so they don't get you with a truck freight charge vs UPS. http://www.mcmaster.com

Also, try http://www.onlinemetals.com They keep sending me email notices for 15, 20, even 30 % discounts going into Xmas. They seem to have recent competition from Ebay sources I would suspect, where I have been ordering small amounts of metals this year, sometimes with free shipping.

I just got a notice today from McNichols Company. They sell sheets of Perforated and raised expanded  metals like we gold prospectors might use to build highbankers, dredges, sluices etc.Normally, they sell only 4 x 10 foot sheets which ship by truck and are basically unaffordable for us small guys. As of today, Jan 15, they have 1/3  to 1/2 size sheets available. The one I have my eye on is now $59 for 3 x 2 feet x 3/8 inch holes in 16 gauge. Am assuming this can be sent by UPS or US Mail instead of truck but better call 1st?

This has been my favorite place to buy from https://www.metalsupermarkets.com/store-finder/

They are in the US and Canada.

Try to find a local supplier first, if not then McMastercarr is a solid source. Shipping on long stock gets costly so a local supplier will save you some $$$

I was lucky, had a local Metal Supermarket nearby in Buffalo, NY and now here in Canada. In the actual store they also had bins with cut-offs.....................

I have a corp account with Mcmaster, use them if I am too lazy to shop around and want stuff next day or need oddball machine pieces.

I need to check out the Metal Supermarkets, got one not too far from me.

Thanks

Grandfather used to find a lot of items at this place he needed for his equipment, and I think he said they were reasonable.
