medieval Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I am having trouble locating 3" square 4140 stock. I use it for dies on my powerhammer. The local dealer that handles tool steels has changed his inventory. He now saw cuts 3" plate into 3" width. I works but make it much more expensive. I live near Portland, Oregon. Any ideas? Thanks Quote

Mark Emig Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 You can also try Burgon tool steel. The link is on the ABANA website. Good service, and they do small quantities without a big deal. Mark Quote
John Martin Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Try http://ww.speedymetals.com. It's there, and it's readily available. Just go to alloy and then square. Quote
forgemaster Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Why not buy round its cheaper and readily available. You have a power hammer. Forge it to square any size you require, within reason of course. Phil Quote
