Does any one know of a source in the UK for the above please? I can only find these alloys in round or hex bar and the funny bent shaped things I need to machine would come out of a slab of plate with a lot lot less waste as it would be possible to cozy them up in multiples.

I'm not sure you'll get 303 in sheet/plate form, due to it being non-weldable.

Haven't got a clue about 415 though.

You're probably looking at having to go to one of the specialist stainless suppliers.

I have purchased bits of stainless plate and flat bar off ebay

Thanks for the suggestions. The stuff does seem to exist in the USA at >1/4" thickness, but I've not seen any for sale over here on the Bay of fleas as yet. I think I'll start phoning round stainless suppliers tomorrow.
