In fact, for the amount I want (1/4" or 6mm and 5/8" or 15mm diameters in about 70mm long or less) you could probably just as well say 'offcuts' so, what kind of place is likely to give away offcuts of brass rods? :p Or sells short lengths (or even not so short!) for a good price... |

| 1253373 | 2012-01-10 06:30:00 | In Nelson I regularly buy 1 metre lengths of brass rod in sizes from 1/8" to 1/2". I turn a variety of door, drawer and box knobs from this stuff. Mico Plumbing Supplies. Used to be known as Mico-Wakefield. Probably got branches elsewhere.... | Scouse (83) | ||

Used to be known as Mico-Wakefield. Probably got branches elsewhere.... I found them online but couldn't find prices, what are they like? Scrap metal dealer for most metals. Hmm, sounds not a bad idea either, never thought of that... :o |

| 1253377 | 2012-01-10 21:07:00 | Find an engineering company that does CNC turning work ... they start off with long lengths and have to discard the last 50 - 100mm depending on what they're making. Use the yellow pages and let your fingers do the walking ! | SP8's (9836) | ||
