does any one have 5/8' or 1/2' thick 304 Stainless plate
has to be atleast 14 inches long and 4 inches wide

scrap or something... anyone?

 

That's not really scrap .... that's a flange waiting to be cut. I could sell you some from around the shop but honestly after shipping you'd be better off hitting up a local metal shop of even a local scrap yard.

 

get some at a local metal supplier. do not get it at a scrap yard. they won't have any idea on the grade of stainless and you may end up with something you can't use.

 

hmm..

ok thx guys.

 

its going to be $$$$$$$

 

cant be too much money... most people sell stainless flanges for ~$100 or so already cut and ready to go.. so figure ~$70 for the metal?

thats not exactly $$$$$$$$

 

Costs more than $30 in machine time and tooling for a 4-6 cyl flange. I would expect $40 and under for the piece you are looking for unless your local metal by the foot depot really bends you over, which they very well may for a small part like this.

 

should'nt be more then 50 or 60 dollars for a plate the size im looking for.

 

I buy all my metals from Alro steel, as they are local... I believe SS is going for $2.75 a lb as of last week, so you would be looking at maybe $25-30. I don't think that size plate would run more then 10lbs?

 

metal is sold by weight not size

 

Meh, not really, its more supply and demand.
