PuttyMasher Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Has anyone ordered steel from metalsdepot to bend? How does the steel compare to steel from other places? They have a product called "Cold Finish Steel", which i assume is cold rolled steel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buccos1 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I have ordered HRS from them a bunch of times over the years, and have had mixed results. They sent me CRS twice, when I ordered HRS, which was pretty obvious to anyone bending long bars regularly. They did replace it, but it was a pain, and I had a bunch of 5/8 CRS I had no need for. Fastenal is one of the best places to buy steel. Stock is pretty consistent and service is excellent! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also gotten stuff from SpeedyMetals.com and they have been really quick and reasonable on their pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
