7/16 Mic 6 Source

[MaxPrairie]

Anyone have a good source for 7/16" Mic 6 or equivalent? Seems to be a tough one for me to find. I have bought the last couple time from Mcmaster, but their price is quite steep.

their price is quite steep.

Everyone has raised their prices.
Hell, even McDonald's raised the price of Coke.

Yeah, don't worry I have noticed. I can get 1/2" from my typical supplier for 1/3 of Mcmaster's price. I may just buy that and face it if I cannot find reasonable pricing...

Howard metals in Milwaukee is the place I use for 5 to 1000 pounds of Al. They will cut one piece if you you need it from plate. Their prices are always fair.

They supply Mc Master’s plate.

I use them sometimes, but Todd over there said they don't have it. They do a good job over there though. Ordered 500 1/4" plates from them a while back and did a good job packaging and minimal scratches.

Todd does my stuff too. You could send it out for blanchard or plate milling?
