Looking for Sheet Aluminum

Unread post by Marky »

My FIRST Robotics team is in need of sheet aluminum.

2 @ 1/8" thick, 32" long by at least 14" high.
2 @ 1/8" thick, 32" long by 7" high
2 @ 1/8" thick, 29" long by 7" high

We're also always happy to receive any decent sizes of scrap aluminum (C, L, I-beam, sheet, whatever). Does anyone have any connections that could help hook us up. We need the sheet either way, so we're happy to pay for that, but any deals we can get we'd be forever grateful. Thanks!

If you want sheet metal aluminum go to a roofing supply company and buy a sheet 36 inches × 8 feet long and bend it to your dimensions using a level or a piece of wood. I do it all the time in the feild when im to lazy to lug the break around.

Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty.

Thanks, guys, I ended up finding what I needed online for a few bucks cheaper (not by much) than the link Don shared.
