1089 forum posts 345 photos | I need about a metre of CZ121 round bar 1,5 inch or so in diameter. My local supplier ( ME oriented, so not generally the cheapest) would charge me about £100 - is that reasonable I wonder? The last time I bought any this size was when Aluminium Warehouse sold brass as well, and I'm sure it was very much cheaper. But copper prices have risen drastically since then perhaps. Rob |

![]() 5068 forum posts 3 photos | Sound expensive to me as brass has actually come down a lot. Sorry I can't get any prices, I'll be out the country by the time the holiday is over but give Smiths Metals a ring over at Chilwell near notts 0115 925 4801
These are the closest to you and post the reply on here. |
