5/8th silver steel - good value!

https://www.zoro.co.uk/shop/materials-and-maintenance/silver-steel/5-8inch-diameter-x-39inch-silver-steel/p/ZT1060662X

At the time of posting this it is £11.99 for 39". Yes, more than most of us will need.

£13.99 but still good value

My mistake, £13.99.

Absolute bargain ! It would cost £50 ($95) here in Australia

And Zorro does not ship to Australia.

£25,000 per ton is good value????

Not if you want to buy a ton. Should you only need a foot or two then probably.

£13.99 for 1 mtr of 5/8" silver steel, I would grab that with both hands. A supplier I have used wants £20 for 12 inches and £70 for 39 inches....

You need to be careful. There are at least 2 specs for the tolerance of the O/D size. The wider limit stuff is a lot cheaper, but if that's not an issue then it can save some £'s.

The cheap stuff seems to tick all the right boxes.

Not to worry Michael it gave me a chance to peruse • BS1407:1970

Just ordered 2 lengths of this for £25 including postage by using the clever discount finder that pops up on the page.

You're not paying for the tonnage, you're paying for the reliable carbon content, the stable condition, and being round, straight, parallel and to size within tight tolerances. Those are worth that money.

I needed some Ø16mm lengths for an up coming job, 78" lengths, £27.99 each and a had a 15% voucher too!

When ever I buy from Zoro I tend to top my stock of silver steel
