Thanks

Hi Neil,
I get all my blanks from Ideal Metals. Here's the phone number for the branch in Brampton, ON. (905) 456- 3350. They may have a branch in your neck of the woods also.

Any place that has a CNC lazer can cut you the shapes. I had 30 large peices of 1/8 6061 AL cut last year to custom shapes including mounting holes then had them powdercoat them. If you cannot find anyone there are various locations here in Ontario that I have used.

(Edited) to add that lazer cutting was significatly less expensive than Waterjet.

Thanks, Rick is that Number correct? It seems to be not working, I get a busy signal right away. Mark can you steer me in the right direction for a supplier?

Thanks Again

Hi Neil,
Forgot to mention a company I use in Alberta. Their a large operation, but their service has always been good and they don't mind dealing with small shops. The company name is Grant Metals. I've posted a link to their web site.
