Inexpensive quality 6061 for plates

[mcdanlj (Michael K Johnson)]

Good source of printer bed material right now

Howard Precision currently has cast and wrought plate up to 12" wide 60" long on sale for $1/pound (plus shipping if you don’t live nearby); minimum order $30. This includes Mic 6 and Alca 5 cast plate, both of which are good choices for constructing heated beds. The drops I have purchased from them before have arrived in better condition (impeccable) than custom cuts from Midwest Steel (dented and scratched) and I highly recommend Howard Precision. https://www.howardprecision.com/random-rack N…

This sale also covers 6061 wrought plate, and there are lots of drops from which plates for OX, R7, and similar routers could be cut.
