Does anyone know of a supplier of imperial size (5/16" & 5/8") round steel bar, ones that supply smaller quantities i.e 1metre lengths or smaller?
grade en9 would be good as well

Hello Ian
Thanks for this link it certainly looks promising and I will be contacting them tomorrow.
Thanks for your reply, I have tried those local to me and they either do not stock imperial sizes or only supply stock lengths of 3 metres.
Cheers
Colin
Maybe cheaper to buy a 3M length locally than pay a premium rate & postage from Mallard. Are there no local engineering firms who would sell off cuts?
If you ever come to Cambridge you could try Mackays on East Road Cambridge 01223 517000 an old established firm, they will cut to order.

I did consider that but 3 firms I contacted all said they would have to buy in imperial sized bar, this then adds further costs.
Living in Oxfordshire is like living in desert, trying to get small engineering supplies or work done is like hunting for an oasis.
Your contact in Cambridge needs to be cherished.

Thanks for giving me the contact, a real help to me.
Hi Colin,
Glad to have been of help. Your comments don't surprise me. I have always used them when needing raw materials and it has never been anything but a pleasant experience.
