I know it is a strange request, but I need to find a local supplier (SE ESSEX) of 5 or 6mm mild steel bar, I need about 100 18" lengths, best price I have found so far is over �100 +VAT which seems a lot to me?

Cheers

Did you say Steel Bands mate :smiley:

Is Dan Dan your stage name :sunglasses:

Ade are you talking bar as in round and not flat bar? If so you will be looking at around �90 for what you need - before any cutting charges, so if its not much over �100 probably not a bad price.

Thanks, yes round, unless flat would be cheaper? But least I know the price is about right. :slight_smile:

PS thanks JF :wink:
