Lookin for a source for 410 stainless steel

Post by GuntherofOrkney »

Mcmaster carr is the cheapest i have found so far but they only sell max size of 12"by 24" peices. I need at least to be able to get 2ft by 2ft.

I also got http://www.onlinemetals.com/ and its really expensive.

i have gone to IMS and they would have to order and ship it so if i could find a good price online to cut out the middle man.

admiral steel is only 12inches wide which is the same as mcmaster carr.
