McMaster-Carr or OnlineMetals.com are two possible places to order almost any kind of stock.

// Is the 5"x5"x5" piece a solid bar? It will probably take hours for the machine shop at a competition to make if there is any significant weight reduction. Generally the competition machine shops only have a manual mill and lathe, along with a variety of other smaller tools like a drill press, band saw, etc.
