Hi Guys,
In the past I have had a hard time finding bar stock to feed my little 10" lathe.
I live in rural Australia so my options are fairly limited. Most mail order places are hugely expensive.
I expect most people in my position have the same problem.
I recently came across a company happy to ship me off cuts from his CNC machining business.
The "offcuts" I received were sizeable hunks up to 40mm dia around 300mm long.
He sold them to me for $1.00 per KG plus delivery up to a 20kg box.
Delivery was also around $1.00 per KG. I didn't get to specify the sizes I received but it was more of an assortment for future projects.
I know you have a strict policy here about not advertising, and this place has nothing to do with me.
Is there any way I can share this information with other Australians on this site?
If not then I understand and respect your policy.
Thanks
David
