I am needing some steel for a project I am working on.
I keep meaning to call a local place about prices but keep forgetting.
I have been looking at prices online at Online Metals and McMaster-Carr and Metal Express.
I sincerely hope that I can get metal cheaper locally.
I'm in the Chattanooga area if anyone is familiar with steel prices in this area.
So what can I expect to pay for steel.
I need some flat stock. 3/8 x 3 in varying lengths.
Mite could go with 1/4 x 3 inch stock. Mite also could use 2 inch wide stock.
Also need some angle iron, 3x3x 1/4 inch angle.
Also need some 4 inch square tube, mite could use 3 inch.
And I need a piece of 3/8 sheet 21x21 inches.
I need to cut a 20 inch circle out of it.
So what can I expect to pay for steel.
It's been a long time since I bought any steel.
But its got to be cheaper than those online places.
Maybe I can call in the morning or remember it on monday.
Till then does anyone here have any idea?
Thanks.
