Where to get Mild Steel Plate?

[Jonathan]

I've used ASC - good service etc.

In my case, would you use Mild Steel or Alu for my Z setup?

Yes ;)

Aluminium is much easier to machine...

Yep, doesnt make it better though :-|

I could probably weld the plates up to leave the slot for the bearing / ballscrew. My Denford can do mild steel machining without too much of a problem - albeit fairly slow going.
