    Ground brass bar

    Does anybody know of where I can purchase small amounts of ground brass bar stock, hopefully from stock. Like 6' or 12'.
    My current need is 1 1/8" dia.

    Thanks,

    Thanks,
    Have you tried Yard Metals??

    Welcome to Yarde Metals Online

    One and an eighth is a large diameter bar. What Swiss do you have??

    SS-32

    I have an SS-32 which will actually handle 1 1/4"
    32 is a pretty common sized Swiss model.

    I pretty sure Yard metals does not stock ground brass, but I will check again.

    Banner Service they do great work and may have it in stock.
    If not, their turnaround is usually pretty good.
    Control the process, not the product!
    Machining is more science than art, master the science and the artistry will be evident.
