vivaspeed Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hey all, My pile of scrap/project steel is running out and I need some short lengths of steel for projects. In particular some small diameter tube and some 25mm RHS. When I was in Hastings, there was a place Central Metals that sold any shape/profile or part sheets by any length/size - you could buy a metre or so, or half a sheet if you needed. So far haven't found anywhere like that in Welly. Obviously Fletcher Easysteel etc will sell me a full length/sheet of anything but I never need that much. Any recommendations of where to either buy short lengths, or GC engineering shops that will sell lengths for cash (or let you raid their scrap bin)? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Also Mico Metals do exactly what you describe.. Metalworx will sell you offcuts where Mico will actually cut up a full length to sell you what you need.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivaspeed Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 Cool, a couple of leads, will call tomorrow... Also Mico Metals do exactly what you describe. I didn't realise Mico did steel, I thought they were more ali, brass, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shavenYak Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Sorry to hijack but where's good in Palmy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 It depends what you want. Jase eke_zetec works with steel all day and can get off cuts etc, otherwise there's not too much choice in short lengths (unless you know engineers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
