spring steel in the UK
Posted: Mon Aug 23, 2010 4:00 pm
I have been asked a few times for spring steel by people here and at UK events and am considering stocking it.
Problem is I need to buy big bits of it ( like 36 foot long sheets, not sure of width )
I would like to know how much interest there would be in this and what gauges and sizes of it would be of interest, if there is interest I would see what I can do on prices
So
are you interested?
what thickness in gauge or mm?
what shape / size bit would you be interested in?
what parts are you likley to want to make from pieces these sizes?
some thicknesses my local supplier keep in stock so I dont need to buy a full sheet but I dont think these thicknesses will be the most usefull to armourers, for others I have to buy a lot of it.
I can get locally
0.5mm ( between 25 and 26 gauge )
0.7mm ( between 22 and 23 gauge )
2mm ( between 14 and 15 gauge )
all maybe in smaller quantities
if there is interest I will enquire further
feel free to PM or mail me anything or post here
