Angle and Plate

[85cj7]

Anyone got any 5"x3"x1/4" angle need about a foot and 15"x6" of 3/16" plate? If nothing turns up I'll just go to mack bolt and steel but wanted to see if any members had some first. Thanks

x2. they're much better about having drops and/or cutting custom sizes. you can also get cheap plate at the new metal part of bryan iron and metal. ask for mill plate.

where is custom fab, I have never heard of that place before?

John, I did think of bryan iron, you think they have that much better prices? Isn't it just based off market value?

never mind, I have found it, next to brazos welding supply right?

[agjohn02]

custom fab is on 2818 near the industrial park in bryan. i dont recall how much cheaper the mill plate is at bryan iron but it was enough that i used it almost exclusively while i was in BCS.

of the mill plate. its odd shaped pieces from the beginning or end of a mill run hence the lower price. they might only cut half sheets of the regular 4x8 stuff but i cant remember for sure.

and you have to buy full or half stick of materlial now too. I only use custom fabe now, they always have clean metal, cut what ever you need and can get DOM within a week. They are a little pricey then everyone else, but they always have what i need and i dont have to drive or deal with idiots
