    Hi All,

    Does anybody know a trade supplier that will cut down Aluminium composite sheets (3050x2030mm) to specific shapes.
    At the moment we use Rob Horne (although the monthly price increases are getting a little tiring).
    I can cut down sheets in-house by hand but for this job in need 4 semi cirlces around 8000m x 2000mm. They are all slightly different and have to join perfectly.
    I just thought that if i could find a trade supplier that could cut more than a straight line it would save an awful lot of time, money and effort. Oh, and to save on carriage costs if they were based in Scotland that would be amazing.

    Thanks in advance

    Steve

    Try cherwells also, they have just bought a new router and have always been reasonable in price
    BTW I presume you mean 2m x 1m a semi circle can only be in these proportions.!

    Hi Guys, thanks for the contacts… and the corrections. It is 8000mm, and i suppose technically it’s a half ellipse.
    They are big none the less and i am trying to keep the cost and time at a minimum, so we don’t end up pricing ourselves out the job.

    Cheers
