Does anyone know of any businesses in Frederick that will sell metal stock to consumers?
I need two 9-foot sections of 1" 304 stainless square tube with .12" wall thickness. The usual online shops I've used in the past are insanely expensive for shipping - it costs more than the steel does. Bought a few 8 foot sections from Online Metals a few years ago and shipping was reasonable, now it's around $250.
Frederick Steel and Rail used to have it but no longer sells over the counter, large orders to businesses only now. Grainger only has 6 foot lengths, Posner's might sell small orders but doesn't have the right wall thickness, hardware stores are hardware stores so of course they don't have stainless square tubing.
Needs to be stainless.
