I'm looking for 1" x 3/16" 5160 for a large batch of orders. Anyone have a source for this odd size?
Thanks,
J.

J, I doubt very much if you'll find it but this is where I get my steel when I'm not hitting the junk yards. http://www.pmtsco.com/ They have a 1 800 number. If nothing else they maybe able to point you in the right direction. Are these for torsion springs? Good luck!

Thaks guys, I don't have anything local around me but, I'll give the tips a try.
Actually Ray, these are for a large batch order for a survival school. They've got a spcific style in mind and it would save me from forging down a crud load of 1 1/4" stock and grinding. Basically, trying to save myself some work. If not 1", maybe I can find 2" and cut it in half.
Thanks again

I've got all the 1" square you will ever need.
If you had a decent band saw you could get about 4 slices out of it.
It's really nice clean stuff.

I usually forge it down with a 500 pound Chambersburg to my hand-hammer thickness!
I never have, but I'll bet you could cut up pieces to fit in a oven, give it a spherodizing anneal, and it would cut rather well.
I'd be happy to send you piece to play with.

I certainly couldn't argue with that. Let me know what I'd owe you for a 9" piece. Thanks again.

This is the only source I know of for 5160 in PA.
Stanley Springs - also known as Dayton Parts
1300 N Cameron St
Harrisburg, PA 17103 - 1031

Ask for Keith he knows what the different steels are. If you talk to anyone else first make sure they know what steels they carry. Most are shop help.
I don't know if they carry anything thinner than .262" but at least they are in the same state!
