Free Metal !

[Alincochrane]

I have been metalworking as a hobby for 30+ years and have accumulated a lot of material. Now we are moving to Vancouver Island and it's time to clean out the shop.

I have a some larger pieces of material I would like to sell (to fund restocking the new shop) - a few samples listed below.
5' x 1-1/4 diam stainless rod $10
26" x 3-1/2" ID (4" OD) hydraulic tube (honed ID) $5 (4 available)
6" long 3-1/2" cored bronze (1-1/4" core) $30
4" long 3-1/2" cored bronze (3/4" core) $20
Various 2' - 5' lengths of steel bar for a couple of bucks a piece

I also have about 1000 lbs of offcuts, bar ends, etc. These are mostly small 6 " - 18" long and from 1/4" to 4" section, square, rectangle, round, hex, tube, angle Mostly mild steel, but some stainless, cast iron, aluminum. All handy sizes for model making, robotics, etc. Also some bits of brass and bronze, springs, pulleys, gears and fixtures - everything free for the taking. Come and pick up a box or two. I would like to get this out of the way by end of April otherwise it goes to recycling.

Also have some tools listed elsewhere on this site.

We are located about 10 minutes north of Cochrane, AB. Email me for address and timing a.bays (at) flare-consultants.com or phone/text 403-615-0370

20 lb home made anvil - $15

Record 4" bench vice ( like new) - $20

2 axis cross-slide vice - $20

Misc. V-blocks, parallels, M&W 1" micrometer, DTI, ...... what do you need ?

See previous post for contact info.

Correction: the mic is Starrett (not M&W) - in the original box & looks like its never been used

I don't suppose you have a precision level for sale???

Don, only the Starrett 98-12 I mentioned in a previous post.

 

[DPittman]

Oops my bad. I'm confused. I'll blame my meds. Sorry. I think I need to level my head!

I'm going to be in Calgary next week for a couple of days. I'll contact you then about some of your metal pieces.

Hi, I am new to metal working as my name suggests .
I recently bought a vintage drill press from Kijiji and I am interested in your x-y cross-slide vice. Please let me know if I could pass by tomorrow around 11sh to noon. I am also interested in some offcuts as well.
I live in Calgary.
Thanks,
Kal

 

[Alincochrane]

That should work Kal - phone/text me before you leave in case something unforeseen comes up

 

[KalNovice]

That works best as I do not know exactly when I’ll leave. Can you please share your number? Mine is 4035421167
Also your address to lookup how long the trip will take

 

[Alincochrane]

Most of this is now gone - thanks to all who came by

 

[John Conroy]

Thanks for the metal pieces I picked last evening Al. They will come in very handy. Good luck with your upcoming move.

 

[Alincochrane]

Glad you could use them John. Really enjoyed the conversation.

 

[Dabbler]

thanks for everything!

 

[KalNovice]

Thanks Al as well. Actually one small piece threaded on one side and terminating in a circular disk with 3 pins unexpectedly came very handy as it fitted my stand light bracket and the three pins will hold my copper heat sink with the LED wafer on top. Pictures will follow after the project is finished. JAnger is helping me out with building the cap/ reflector from sheet metal.

Do you still have the 26in pieces of 3.5" tubing? I live north of Cochrane as well. Almost neighbors.

 

[Alincochrane]

I don't any longer - everything went last week.
