Brass stock in small sections....?

[Mark Pearse]

Brass flat bar in sizes below 1/4" width seems to have vanished....

 

Does anyone have any recent experience of buying smaller sizes? 2-5mm widths, in thicknesses like 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2mm. 

 

any suggestions extremely welcome

K & S Metals has been my go-to for brass strips and bars here in the States.  Not sure what their current inventory stock is.

See my response in your RANGER building log ...

  If you need narrow widths of relatively thin brass stock (still available in sheets), you can use a heavy-duty paper cutter (one-arm shear blade) to slice off thin strips.

Thank you all for the responses.

 

K & S don't seem to have any rectangular strips (aka flat bar) narrower than 1/4". I believe I was looking at their store website. And thanks also for the guillotine suggestion, I hadn't realised that can work. 

 

I went right to the bottom of the scraps box & I can largely work with what I have in bits & pieces, except for the square C channel 3 x 1mm nom. I'll think about some alternatives, including eBay.
