I'm looking to buy a short lenght of 7/8th bright bar approx 5" or 125mm. Must be 7/8th diameter not 22mm. I have tried a few places locally but know luck, was hoping maybe a forum member could help. I am tring to make a tool rest for my old wood lathe.
Cheers Jerryj

.RC. 19th July 2011, 08:29 AM What grade? 1020, 1045, 4140 etc?
pipeclay 19th July 2011, 09:29 AM If you need an accurate piece of 7/8" bright bar you would be better off getting a piece of Centreless ground bar,it will be concentric over its full length and straight.
If you choose a piece of BMS(bright mild steel) there is no assurance of it being exactly 7/8" over its length or of it being straight.
The other allternative would be to get someone to Turn a piece for you,this would be a last resort.
Poloris 19th July 2011, 10:12 AM Have you tried Bohler Uddeholm?
The Kewdale store sells offcuts.

If you Google...... E & J Winter Model Engineering & then go to their catalogue you will find this material listed.
I have purchased from them in the past. They will mail you your requirements providing of course if it is in stock.
