[QUOTE="PeterT, post: 2770, member: 22"] Keep us posted when you latch onto something. Did someone mention Federal in another post? ie. they were not as keen on walk-in small qty anymore? [URL]http://federalmetals.calls.net/solid-bar--square-round.html[/URL] I'd hate to recommend MetSup for anything, but might turn out to be the lesser evil if you can't source from scrap or somebodies cuttings. It would be a heavy lump to ship if you found online. I sure wish there was a Canadian equivalent to these guys. That chunk in nice cast iron would set you back a whopping 25$ sold by the inch.

My limited experience with CI turning my cylinder liner was that it was a bit messy but easy to machine & probably more dimensionally stable. Some chunks of that would probably be good for machine applications like yours. I want to see that shaper one day. Bring it to the next coffee meeting, ha-ha [/QUOTE]
