material cost

[Metriccar]

What about Arizona?

A local supplier wants to charge $33 for 16 gauge CR 4x4' cutoffs. I thought that was a good deal but it sounds like people are paying that much for a whole sheet. I guess that's the advantage of having a 4x8 table.

I've been getting 4'x 2'-3' cut offs 16-22 gauge for 50 cents a pound.

Where do you folks that are in the DFW area buy your metal? I recently bought a 4x10 piece of CR 14 gauge for $94.73 (including tax). I do the pickup on the metal so there is no delivery charge. Looking at what some of you pay for material this seems quite high, but I really don't have room to store a bunch of metal and besides the cash flow needs to improve prior to ordering to get a discount.

Thanks

4x8 11 ga. cold roll = $78.32
4x8 10 ga. cold roll = $88.11
4x8 16 ga. cold roll = $39.16
4x8 14 ga. cold roll = $48.95

These are all tax free to me and delivered

You just saved me some money

I previously bought all my steel at Philips Welding Supply in Weatherford. I'd been buying hot rolled to save money.

Hot rolled from Philips Welding Supply
16 ga 48 x 96 sheet $40.00/sheet
14 ga 48 x 96 sheet $48.75/sheet

Cold rolled from Curtis Steel
16 ga 48 x 96 sheet $37.20/sheet
14 ga 48 x 96 sheet $46.50/sheet

I used to only pick up 10 sheets at a time, but I'll pick up 40 to 50 to make the drive worth while (20 miles vs 38 miles)

This is what I pay in Western Pennsylvania:

--16 ga hr sheet 48 x 96 - $48.00 ea

--12 ga hr sheet 48 x 96 - $74.10 ea

+ $20 delivery charge.

This is what I paid this morning. Me picking up, no delivery.

But of course, I'm not ordering much at this point.

16ga 4x8 45.78 with tax
10 ga 4x8 90.26 with tax

when I do small art work I look in the scrap area and pay by the pound.

I live up by Marquette MI and get my metal from Jacklin Steel Supply Co out of Traverse City, MI. I just bought 3 4x8 sheets of 16Ga and a sheet of 3/16 all cut in half 4x4 and delivered $163...
