Can someone 'cut & bend' 2 - 16ga angles ?
Hello; it sounds weird, but I need somewhat of a favor from anyone on
the forum that can help me... just a little? I lost my life long connection of 40 years at Central Steel & Wire here in Chicago, the other shop I used for things like this has closed up because of the virus :( I am in need of 2, 16ga angles cut and bent - 1" x 2" x 36" (+/- by 1/16"th) to finish the repairs of the subrails in my 1930 Model A' coupe. I currently have no 16ga materials and don't want to buy a 4'x8' sheet, and if I did I have no way of shearing it . Anyone available for a quick project, I'll pay you for your time & materials and the shipping :D Thanks in advance, Steve Hackel 708-687-4183 s.hackel@att.net |

Repurposing suggestion
Have you thought about cutting off what you need from a larger cross section square or rectangular tube? A cut-off wheel or two on a grinder will separate what you need.
If all you are looking for is 1x2, maybe even a heavy steel shelf can provide the right gauge. I was scrapping last month and always have my eye open for possible assets at the scrap yard. Where I live half the yards will sell back for cash, and my favorite 2 yards actually set aside pieces likely to attract another life. I needed new running boards for my 4x4 pickup, I scored a couple pallet rack horizontals that were approximately 2x6 in boxed section. Not sure of the gauge, too late to check as I welded end caps on before installing them. I always see plenty of steel shelving in the yards, but some companies sell new shelving components separately as well. |
Steve , If you would like I have two five foot angles bent up that will work .
I bent them after I read your post ,just to be able to use my newly purchased metal slitter. Drop a line for more info. Don |
Thanks for all the help and suggestions here. Been in touch with Don, and as soon as we can make arrangements between the farm crops and the two
weekends I was committed to, I'll have my angles ! Thanks for your help! |
