    Hi Folks

    A little random this request, but I am looking for a sheet of metal, mild steel is preferred but hey, beggars and all that

    I need 1000mmX600mm and 2.5 or 3mm thick.

    I have a wee project on the go and sheet metal is proving exspensive.

    If you have a piece and its taking up space I have cash waiting.

    Thanks

    Paddy
    SO FAR, SO GOOD, SO WHAT ??

    That would seriously damage the stihl saw since they are generally only good for wood
