  1. I used to buy a lot of 1/4"x 3/4" hot rolled for small scrolls and other small items but the last time I ordered some it was all sheared stock. I cut it all in half before I realised it and couldnt take it back . The steel supplier doesnt even know the difference between hot rolled and sheared stock, I had to show him the difference. But they don't really care anyway as long as they are making money on it. The sheared stock isn't worth 2 cents for ornamental ironwork, it's not even flat and has sharp edges. Now they say that it is the industry standard to shear most stock that is under 1/4" thick. Screwed again by corporate greed
