Trying to source a custom 40cm x 32cm piece of 16ga steel. I'm using it as a square cutting jig for making boxed corner bags and the size is just big enough to be annoying.

I'd be laying this flat on a piece or cordura and then using a hot knife to cut it.

I thought about buying an oversized sheet and having a friend cut it with his laser engraver, but his bed size is a bit too small. Is there anywhere that could cut me a sheet in those exact dimensions that won't be absurdly expensive?

In normal measurements that's 15.75 in x 12.60 in. Just using cm as that's the tutorial I'd be working off of.

I'm in Oregon if that helps.

There are lots of places you could order it from, if there are no local suppliers.  Here's one...

https://www.metalsupermarkets.com/

Any sheet metal shop could stomp it out on a sheer in about 20 seconds.

SendCutSend now does sheet metal bending. You can make a simple sketch and they will cut and bend it for you.

Ended up going this route. There was a shop local to me so I stopped by and was in and out in under 5 minutes. The sheet looks perfect.

I appreciate the help.
