        Hello John

        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

            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.

              Hello Cray

              I have purchases EN1A bar from College Engineering -www.collegengering.co.uk.

              They sell by the 12 inch length. 5/8 round is £2.70 plus VAT plus postage. They have a minimum order of £10.00.

              Regards,

              Ivor Pigram

                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.

                Cheers
