Default Where to buy aluminium plate??

Hey guys,

Im looking for a bulk amount of aluminium plate in large cuts for a project.

Would anyone know a good cheap place to look?

Onesteel and so forth are outragiously priced, so if you know of anyone with a surplus please let me know.

Cheers

Most sheet metal places can cut aluminum sheet upto 3mm and depending on the right machinery even upto 6mm. They would be alot cheaper then getting anything proccesed via Onesteel/Bluescope.
