P220 SmudgeHas anyone done business with Metal Supermarket?
There's one not far from me, I was thinking of stopping by for some knife blank material. Seems like they're geared for construction supply on down to the hobbyist level. Anyone ever deal with this business?

RotndadI have if they're the same I'm thinking of. I've bought material sized to specs that I called in and picked up the next day. I've alos bought from their "scrap" pile. I bought the scrap stuff to use in the hydraulic press.
I will use them again as needed.

ECSquirrelI've bought metal from them in the past in small quantities / DIY home owner stuff- never on a business level. They always seemed like good people.

220-9erJust over the internet. There are a few others like them so I shop around when buying something specific. Most of the time I'm buying aluminum, not steel.
Also look on eBay for small quantities.

P220 SmudgeThanks for the replies. I found them through a google search, and was wondering if they were legit. Looks like.

If you'd be willing to post how it goes, I would sure like to hear about it. I had planned to stop out this weekend, but home improvement was delegated. Hoping to make it out there Friday.

mark60I have a Metal Supermarket locally that I've bought from and I've also bought steel and aluminum from ebay and discount steel. All good.
