Aluminium Billets

[GeorgeD]

Can anyone recommend a cheap place to buy aluminium plate, preferably near me?

Yellow pages,look unde sheetmetal fabricators,welders,steel erectors....you'llbe suprised how cheapit really in most locations.

I was going to buy off ebay and was suprised I saved £17 and thats without the P&P added because there is none

Guys, tell me what sorts of ally do you use in plate for your builds? Do you tend to use 6082 (He30) or tooling plate?


Kind regards,

Thanks....I tried that, googled all the companies etc but didn't come up with anything :(

There's one place in Loughborough, www.steel-shop.co.uk, (very close to me) that I've not checked out yet but someone told me they were expensive. I'm after 20mm aluminium plate, 1220x160mm.
