Reply:Call your local steel yard and ask for a quote. Steel is all over the board as far as pricing goes due to the shipping costs, distance to ship and method of transport.Lincoln PrecisionTig 275Miller 251Miller DialArc 250Bridgeport millHossfeld bender & diesLogan shaperJet 14 X 40 latheSouth Bend 9" 'C'Hypertherm 900Ellis 3000 band saw21"Royersford ExcelsiorTwo shops, still too many tools.
Reply:well, like my Grandmother used to say, "it's only worth what someone will pay for it"Sorry Polarred, I couldn't resist.But for the record, and to redeem my smartass ways, new steel "around here" is about $1/lb for hot rolled.AND, I think this might be a trick question to see who's paying attention since you didn't list any lengths.......what do I winaw crap, never mind.  i'm going to bed now  I never was good with story problems...Last edited by dubl_t; 06-08-2013 at 01:55 AM.Lincoln SA 200Esab Caddy 160Thermal Arc 201TSMiller Dialarc HFI don't like making plans for the day because then the word "premeditated" gets thrown around the courtroom....
Reply:That's okay...I can take it. I think the 3 x 3 tubing alone would cost $200 + which is the highest price piece in this bundle.....
