I tried, I call around locally, they were all more expensive. Perhaps I need to find the 'small, not online' companies.
They dont do mildsteel at all but when I was looking for Alu etc, they tended to come up cheaper than most. Please check and compare to what you can get 'locally', be curious to know how they compare.

Maybe take a look at www.clickmetal.co.uk and if you price up (its online, instant price) what you have bought before. The tooling plate is a bit more expensive but its fairly flat but if you look at the normal alu (its 6082), you can customise the size / thickness. http://www.clickmetal.co.uk/click-by...luminium-plate for a direct link.
Thanks

A couple of 10mm plates welded as per Nick's recommendation and use 30/40mm square section on the edges for mounting your bearings or rails.Joining the plate is done by machining a pattern of holes in one of the plates you intend to join clean both matting faces and clamp them together then weld the inside the holes.
