Barry - 25 sheets of 6ft x 4ft - that sounds like a serious over-delivery!
I'd like to have some pieces about 18 inches long by a foot wide. Could you
guillotine
a quarter (ie 457.5mm) off the length of one of your sheets then cut that
3 times crosswise to give 4 pieces each 457.5mm x 305mm? Would that go through
the post OK?
I'm posting this reply on the forum to also thank all those who responded, but
I suggest that Barry & I continue our negotiations in private from here on ...
For comparison, I checked on the price and availability from the suppliers
suggested
by other posters and found thus:
for 48" x 24" x 0.040" 6061 T6
Skycraft
30.66; delivery 11.00; VAT 8.33; total 49.99
LAS
48.08; delivery 12.50; VAT 11.72; total 70.30
Click Metal
only 1050 grade (pure aluminium, too soft) available in 1mm thick - they do
6000-series
grades in other things such as profiles or thicker plate.
Thanks again to everyone for their suggestions.
in friendship
