Looking for Aluminum

Craddosk · #1 01-31-2018, 01:07 PM

Trying to find flat bar aluminum, 6061-t6. Ideally in a 4 foot length, but if I have to take a full length (20 feet), I would figure it out.

Needs to be 1.5 inches deep and 8 inches across. Preferably located nearish to Edmonton.

Any thoughts on places that would sell it? Metal Supermarket wants to sell me an entire plate.

Metal Supermarket in Edmonton, I'm not sure if they stock it but probably could order. West and South locations.

My go to place for short pieces is Metalsupermarket. They got me a 3' lenght of 3/4" -416 stainless for a decent price. When I bring Benny the Beagle in the store, he gets treats and I get a discount.......LOL.

Try calling Ryan Scrap yard in Nisku. Worth a try.
