11 forum posts | HI all, I'm trying to find a laser or water-jet cutting service that holds stock of (2mm) spring and also (5 or 6mm) tool steels, or at least something higher yield than s355 which is the limit of what most seem to stock. Ideally, I don't want to have to buy a sheet of material to free issue. Thanks in advance, Matt |

Subject to the minimum size they can place on the machine. Most cutters will post small parts or use couriers if larger so location is unlikely to be an issue. |

11 forum posts | Thanks for the business suggestions. Gauge plate would certainly do it, I'll compare prices. Cheers |
