10 / 15mm thick 6061 aluminium alloy sheet ?

[Clive S]

Hi all,
Where do you get your aluminum to build your router?
I can't seems to be able to find anything thicker than 5 or 6mm...

I need something like 12 or maybe 15mm thick to build the Y and Z axis of my router.

Also, what grade do you use? 6061, 6082 ?

Ta,
RNR

This is one place Aluminium Flat Bar | Aluminium Bar | Aluminium Warehouse but there are others.

15mm seems a little thin to me: 20mm is more usual re the grade 6082 or ecocast but others will chirp in .. Clive
