Aluminium angle....

[Doc]

Not for myself but I'm after a supplier of either 45° or 135° aluminium angle, maybe 6 mm thick.

Can only find the normal 90° stuff, anyone know a supplier?

Hi Mick, you could ask a local sheet metal fabricators to make some up.

But aluminium tends to crack when folded........

As far as I'm aware, stock aluminum angle only comes in 90 degrees?

I'm sure thats the case with mild steel, as I can never remember anything but, in steel stockholders catalogues.

Could be wrong of course.

I second what Ed says above, regarding folding.

The only other way would be to get 2 plates welded together?

Try Aluminium Droitwich (eBay.co.uk Shop)

They only list 90 deg but if they dont have it they will know who does

Richard Austin Alloys Ltd - Aluminium and Stainless Steel

The company I worked for used the above supplier. No mention of anything but 90 degrees in the stock list. Looks like it would have to be a 'customer special'. Best to phone up a non-ferrous/alluminium supplier and ask, I guess.

Andy.

ps: If it were me, I'd go down the, welding two plates together, road. Possibly more cost effective.

Thanks guys you given me a few ideas.

I might be able to help with this, depending on how much you need. I am a sheet metal worker, so cutting and bending ali is part of the daily chore. And........ we have a bit of 6/5 mm ali laying about.

Thanks for the offer Phil but he needs a fair bit.

What it was for was a large summerhouse roof, his going to use 90° and have it welded so it stays in place, then he can use the 45° side to bolt the struts onto.

Thanks anyway.
