Source of 6mm+ cold rolled sheet / plate?

[MattH]

I'm just starting to stock up on mild steel sheet for my plasma table.

Most of what I will be doing will be 1.5mm and 2mm CRS which I can easily get.

I just ordered a sheet of 6mm and 10mm hot rolled from Brundles but I'd like to keep some thicker cold rolled on the shelf.

I have some off cuts of 6mm, 8mm and 12mm cold rolled that I picked up from my local friendly scrap yard so I know it's available.

Any suggestions on where to source this? I've had a quick search and not come up with anything.

Is it definitely not pickled and oiled hot rollled?

Not sure, not really familiar with all the different options.

Here's a piece of 6mm and 10mm I have:

I would image most would be hot rolled at that thickness


Have you tried parker steel?

I think you've hit the nail on the head.

HRPO sheet looks like what I'm after.

Still can't find anywhere online selling single sheets of 6mm+.

CP Steels in Culham but delivery cost is the killer.

You could try precision profiles. I think they’re sheet and plate stock is in Bristol.

Give Dyfed Steels a call.

I get my HRPO from John Tainton. I don't know about single sheets as I buy in packs . Might be worth asking.
They are a lot cheaper than my usual supplier charges for normal hot rolled too.

The HRPO is so much nicer to look at and seems to cut better on the plasma too BTW.

Precision Profiles and John Tainton seem like good options.

thanks guys.
