Steel and various bar stock going cheap Dave Baker 09-13-2008

A friend in Sussex is chucking out a vast amount of bar stock in various
sizes which I've only just found out about. He's already weighed in over a
ton of mild steel for a paltry £70 a ton at the scrappies. Drat. I'm trying
to find out what's left and see if he'll keep it for a bit longer but he
badly needs that room cleared.

Next stuff to go will be a ton or so of 316 stainless bar stock which is
worth a lot at the scrappies but maybe more to someone on here. Also there's
some Hasteloy, Inconel, Phosphor Bronze and various other stuff including
EN24 and EN32 which I'm trying to get him to list out for me.

Does any of the above sound useful to anyone? Got a particular bar stock
need which I can ask him about?

I've grown to quite like working with EN24 and could probably find a use for a
few lengths of Phosphor Bronze and any 400 series stainless. Cast iron is
always useful. Can't think of a use for EN32 though...

Can only cope with middled lengths in the Metro unless anyone else needs
enough to make a Transit trip worthwhile. If so, could cut down to car sized
lengths and re-distribute at the Midlands model engineering show :-)

Myford spindles? These are case hardened EN32 .

Can I stick my hand up for some EN24 if there is any left please?
Anything in 1" - 4" would be handy.
