10mm circle engine turned sheet stainless - where can i get some?
Turbo Mini Forums

hi all, for my latest project im looking for some sheet stainless. it has to be polished engine turned with aprox 10mm overlapped circles. i have searched the net, and the guy doing the lazer cutting says he has spoken to all of his suppliers but no-one can source anything like this. almost like a minature version of the stuff you see lining kebab shops! etc

i was wondering if anyone had any ideas - i guess it would have to be a speciallist supplier. i need aprox 3m x 2m of the stuff, or whatever the sheet sizes would be. thickness can be between 0.5-1mm

anyone got any ideas? or know where i can get some?

cheers, dan

Sheet that size usually comes in a roll then is cut into large sheets. I doubt you will get a one off cut that size.

As you said any ideas, why not buy the tool and just put the circles onto some polished stainless? I think Frost sell them, failing that, a bit of dowel and lapping compound (but it doesn't look too good..)

You could try metalcutoffs.co.uk - they do kitchen splash backs with the circles pattern, but it doesn't state if they are 10mm or not

The pre-cut listed sizes only go to 1200mm x 1000mm, but they do say to call them if your size is not listed

hi chaps, thanks for the input. i paid metal goods a visit a few weeks ago but they were unable to help. the laster people tried a good further handful of companies but they all drew blanks. size of the sheet is unimportant. though hand turning a sheet of this stuff will take some doing. i was just wondering if anyone had a speciallist contact who could supply this stuff. a lot of classics use it for dashboard panels, i thought it would be available off the shelf somewhere?? cheers, dan

I am trying to locate some of this thru my laser cutter either in stainless or ally, will let you know how I get on and if i can supply it for you.
