I'm trying to track down a roughly 18"x24" piece of 3/16 or 1/4 steel plate, mild is fine but I'll take anything. My local place will only sell full or 1/2 sheets and for a half sheet of 3/16 mild they want $350!

Anyone know of a place with regular scrap or small drops?

I*may* have a piece, it will take me a couple of days to check...where are you located?  Otherwise, check some of your local scrap/salvage yards.

I have tons of scrap that needs to go somewhere. It will be the end of the week before I can check on sheet sizes. If you need something quick check McMaster-Carr or Metal Supermarkets

Have you tried Bethany Steel up on Airport Rd?  It's where I get all my stuff.  Great folks.

Did you call or stop by? I get the feeling they don't really track what's in their drop room or remnant racks. You really need to go there in person and poke around. Bring gloves because you're responsible for moving it to/from the scale and carrying to the front counter to pay.

He went and poked through. the only thing they have in the size i’m looking for is 14g and that’s too thin. Will warp at 800*.

Metal Super markets
4301 Pleasantdale Rd, Atlanta, GA 30340

I buy a lot of scrap here, built my welding table completely from drop steel I bought there. They have a good bit of thick plate.
