Re: What stock to store for mill/lathe work?

Maybe it's just the game this year. I'm impressed when my kids work through just 20 feet of 1"x1"x.063" Tube!

Does 254 keep records on an spread sheet of all stock material purchases? Seems like your list was copy paste

I can send you ours, it's similar qty.

We build lots of spares, and tubing gets eaten up fast. We seem to alternate between 2x1 and 1x1 seasons, but easily go through 100' of 1/16" wall each year.

We pay per pound, and it's relatively cheap (free shipping by truck as well).
