Steel Pricing

[CRaSHnBuRN]

Have you tried calling and asking?

Works for me.

haha, they never seem to have the slightest idea what they have in pipe and tubing. Thats why I have to take the tape measure with me everytime

[JeepPhisherman]

If they say the don't know, I ask them to go check. Everytime they've said yes, they had it, a quarter of the time when they say no, they also had it.

Who are you using to buy? I've checked speedy metals and online metals and they both charge an arm and leg for shipping and packaging.

Looking to buy 12" of 3/4"x3" flat bar, which is like $10, but then speedy metals wants to charge $9 for packaging and $13 for shipping. Online isn't as bad, just $12 for shipping, but still, it's more than I'm paying for the metal.

metal express, metals depot, a couple others. Only order confirmation I can find right now is for 8.54 in shipping for a 72" tube.

Even if it costs more its worth the convenience. Didn't Krebs get denied a sale because they deemed his project unsafe?

2 stick of 1.75 hrew left

[CRaSHnBuRN]

Garret said they were out and only had 1.5 DOM or something. Dammit, kiewit needs to get off its ass and get me my reimbursement check so I can afford to start collecting the stuff I need

[JeepPhisherman]

Canadian thought they had some HREW but couldn't find it, so they might have some.

And for the metal pricing, 11" of 3-1/4"x1" flat stock for $2.

[redcagepatrol]

3/16" x 4" x 20' flat bar = $28.56

1.75" x .120 HREW x 24' = $29.81

SSS steel in Houston

They didn't have any of the tube in stock though - we even searched for it because their system showed like 4 sticks

Bought from Coop

[Doug Krebs]

Anyone know if Mack has any 1.75 x .120 left or does anyone have about a piece ~ 10ft long?

[85cj7]

what can i expect to pay for 10' of 5x6x3/16 angle iron and 10' of 1.5x1.5x3/16 square tubing?

[BMFScout]

Finding 5X6" angle I don't think will happen. I think you would have to have a piece bent.

[RCcola55]

6x3 yes... 6x5 no, as for 1.5 square its like $3-4
