About a mile from me (Santa Clara, Ca) there is a place that sells scraps in small quantities. I have only been there once, but it was an experience. Tons and Tons of aluminum in all shapes and sizes. I do not know if the price was good or bad as this was the first time I purchased any but I got 7.5 pounds of cutoff pieces for US$25. Most of it was 6061, but I also got a couple of pieces of softer stuff. They had cutoff pieces stacked to the ceiling in the center of the room and 20' by all shapes and sizes along the outside walls. They even had what looked like 1 foot cubes of aluminum. I just walked around (the men working the machines did not seem to care), grabbed what looked good to me, piled it on the scale, and then a guy came up, looked at the weight, I followed him into the office and paid cash. If you are in a city, do a web search on aluminum with your area code, or zip code, or city name. Those that know more, let me know too what the going price per pound is. I think I could have dickered with him. -Chuck- Addresses: FAQ: http://www.ktmarketing.com/faq.html FILES: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO/files/ Post Messages: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Moderator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [Moderators] URL to this group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO OFF Topic POSTS: General Machining If you wish to post on unlimited OT subjects goto: aol://5863:126/rec.crafts.metalworking or go thru Google.com to reach it if you have trouble. http://www.metalworking.com/news_servers.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jobshophomeshop I consider this to be a sister site to the CCED group, as many of the same members are there, for OT subjects, that are not allowed on the CCED list.
