Where do you guys get your Metal/CF Stock?
 

Just wondering where to get CF Plates/Aluminum Plates and Angle peices.

Thanks

http://www.graphiteelegance.com Haven't ordered from there yet, but if I ever get CF, it'll be from them.

I order my aluminum plates from Speedy Metals on Ebay. You can also order aluminum online from http://www.onlinemetals.com or http://www.mcmaster.com (Online Metals is less expensive, McMaster-Carr is more expensive).

Metal Xpress, Speedy Metals are some for metal..... The c/f i have not purchased before....

I got my cf from graphiteelegance. (it's not for decoration, it's pure functional, and functional it is!)

Aluminum is something i got my local sources for, but mcmaster has got a nice collection.

I get my metals from onlinemetals.com. Have not had a need to get CF (yet).

Mcmaster does have a nice collection, although, I would think if you did some research, you can just as good for a better price.

After taking a look, mcmaster isn't expensive per se, its just that their smallest size is 4 feet long for some angled 6061...

onlinemetals is like 6 bucks a foot, which actually ends up being more expensive.

Thanks guys.

Have you check Speedy Metals on eBay? Their 1/8" thick x 6" x 48" aluminum sheets are dirt cheap!

I might not even need any stock at all.

This is all for the CRT .5 I'm thinking of how I'm going to set it up. Just doing my research so when the project starts there will be less time between start and finish :)

Did you order it yet? (the CRT)

No...

Anyone know if Carbon Fiber conducts electricity?

no it doesnt

Sorta. I just measured the top CF part that went on the Hyper8 buggy with a meter and the resin part has more resistance than the meter can measure (over 10M ohms). But if I measure from edge to edge (where the actual carbon fiber layers are), I get a reading as low as 9 ohms depending on the meter lead positioning.

WOW thats wierd, i thought i read somewhere it wasnt... wierd lol
