Mostly tubing, some plate, some rod, probably some angle... bunch of stuff.

Speedy metals seems great when you need small amounts but when you start ordering alot thier prices seem really high.

weve used speedy plenty of times, they should have it in bulk just like your looing for it.

[PonyKiller87]

ok I just looked at Metal Express's web page and its just like speedy metal pretty much.

I put in a few things just to check pricing and its crazy, they sell the stuff bye the inch. So when I put in a 10 or 20 foot chunk of cold rolled steel tubing it comes back with a crazy price that works out to about $4.50 a pound???

[70 cutlass 442]

call them, usualy much cheaper then online

Pal steel in Palmyra sells by the pound. good guys for buying bulk.

Wisconsin Stell and Tube Hwy 100 just south of Bluemound.
Best prices, good steel, no steel/raw material is cheap anymore.

Good luck.

Sucks how a good number of steel suppliers like Ryerson and Castle have left MKE.

You could try alro as well. At work we use alro, wisconsin steel and tube, and castle mostly.

There is also Central Steel and Wire and its close to the OP's area but they are usually $$$. 6th St. in between Howard and Layton.

Speedy Metals was formed from a bunch of people who used to work at Metal Express.

midwest metal warehouse also started by people who worked at speedy....alro would sell in bulk or there is a company in schaunberg does tons of bulk steel.......jorgenson....not sure if they would be better kevin

[Silver03SRT]

If you guys ever need any steel cut we could cut it at work. We have a 2500W laser. I believe we can cut up to 3/8 stainless.

[BadAzzGTA89]

Try Nucor on 6th and rawson right behind farm & barn.

[Anakonda69]

yeah if u go there let me know. i know a ton of those guys from the venom. they all work there.

[twirkin50]

Jorgenson was the best deal I found. I bought a couple hundred feet of 1/4" OD stainless tubing in 20' lengths for about $2 a foot cheaper than anywhere I tried.
