where can i get 1.7mm steel

[robdxr2]

Hi im trying to find some 1.7mm mild steel sheet but I can only find 1.5 and then 2.0mm?

is it an odd size and will that make it expensive

1.6mm is a standard size, what's 0.1mm between friends?

16 gauge imperial is 1.6 nominal thickness or 1/16"

depends on how much you need if it's in short / small sections then get shim steel, any thickness you like, the problems is if you're looking for a large surface area then no good..

The difference between 1.7mm and 1.6mm is only 4 Thou, (0.004")

1.6mm it is then will need 1000x500 sheet

Buy a sheet of 1.6 then build it up with 0.1mm of weld

Don't be stupid, you never be able to do that. Build it up thicker, and then grind it back
