Mad - where do you go for steel in your area? I live in MA but work in Nashua right off of Rte 101 and have been looking for a steel supplier. I have a few projects in mind and finding a good one would sure help.

I have an account with Mill Metals in Manchester. I like them because they deliver daily in the Souhegan Valley area. I have bought several tons of steel in the past 3-4 years and have always been treated fairly.

7 hours round trip. That's a long drive for steel.

Yes, they do take autocad files. Highly preferred over crayon art! They laser cut these parts for me. They do flame cuttting, cnc or laser. Very nice work and good turnaround time.

Not as big as it looks. It's only 5 3/4" by 6". I had them build these so I can fab up my QA front plate to 3 point hitch adapter. My concept and design. This one is for cat. 1 pins

The steel plate arrived yesterday. The girls at the post office were not too thrilled as it was shipped USPS, and it took two of them to carry out the 60 Lb package. Anyway, I got what I needed and was welding away last night. Photos will be coming soon in a new thread about my homemade welding cart.
