Oops. Pressed send by accident. Depending on staff they may do your cuts for free or bump you up a notch in their customer pricing structure. My local store is good that way.

Do you go to the one in Keating?
They seem pretty good there.


What sort of charge is it for a delivery from nanimo? I would have thought that would have took away any savings..... LOL

Yes. The guys (and girl) at Keating are great. I would have to dig up my invoice but my last project involved several lengths of 2x3x.125 sq tubing. There was at least $30 difference in price (per length). Emailed Russell Steel my list and they delivered for $60 When I was signing off on the paperwork I noticed the $13,000.00 order of punched HR plate for a local machine shop had free delivery. Lol

Cheers, Terry

To easily make a bevel, cut the plate at the bevel angle and flip one piece over. Saves a lot if grinding and ensures a perfect bevel.

A band saw will cut bevels fairly easy. :D

I'd cut off my left hand for a saw like that. Good thing I don't have a saw😅

Exactly! That's what I was trying to describe. You have no idea how many coupons I cut at 90 degrees and then ground a bevel onto before I thought of doing it this way.

Get friendly with your local welding/fabrication shops, Some may be willing to sell you their scrap pieces for scrap steel prices.
