Cromwells O1 tool steel?

[tombear]

Sorry for being dim but could someone please link me to the bit of Cromwells where I could find a bit of O1 that is 850 x 50 x 8 (or 6.5 if its significantly cheaper) mm or there abouts as I can't seem to navigate about it right.

I don't know whats wrong with me, I found the last bit of O1 I wanted from them easy enough a year or so back!

You're looking for ground flat stock. It'll be in the materials section.

I use these mate, they are cheaper and the steel is better finished.

Plus they will cut to your exact requirements if needed.

only half cheating then

Merely taking advantage of the enhanced performance of power tools over hand tools when time matters

Cheers folks! I do like it when other folk do the thinking for me, especially as I've been told its not my forte ( thanks love!) mind you i did goad her by texting her pics at work of the woods I was pottering about in, sun streaming through , i was playing with the new stove she'd paid for as well...

Thanks particularly for the link to Phoenix, think I'll give em a go if I can get the funding.

I heard back from them very quickly but unfortunately the cost, 42 quid including postage put the kibosh on the project, a bit of a relief as it would have taken a lot of hours by stock removal.

Cheers for the info though!

Cromwells catalogue is great, about 1300 pages and big enough to for the postman to knock an aggressive dog out with.
