10mm Aluminium sheets wanted

Hi all.

I am after 3off 10mm x 220mm x 280mm sheets of aluminium.

Has anyone got any for cash or recommend somewhere cheap. So far it's proving expensive to source.

Cheers.

Steven.

With the cost of ally still rising, you will find that a 'cheap' sheet will still be expensive. Can you not try re-engineering the part to suit a different manufacturing technique and fabricate something?

Have you tried any of your local engineering works? They may have some offcuts..

Its worth a try.
