Selling 2mm hardox Sheets

I have 2mm Hardox 450 for sale! Yes, actual 2mm hardox :P

I managed to get one of the few sheets of it that actually exist and had a good bit of interest, particularly from the beetle builders, to sell some.

I have ~250x250x2mm sheets for sale for £15. They weigh 950g each (So should sort out a few beetles... Unless you're Matt). They don't have the orange/brown welding coating normally on hardox so are nice and shiny too. :) I cut the smaller sheets from larger ones using plasma cutter (cleaned the edges with an angle grinder) so there is some tolerance in the sizes.

You guys all know the drill with hardox, really tough stuff so the 2mm should make a great armour in beetles and could be pretty useful to save weight in feathers.

I can cut larger sheets if people want any. Just drop me a message here or at 'shakey_aj[at]hotmail.co.uk'.

Postage on the sheets is £2.80, royal mail second class.

Thanks,
Alex

Can you do a bit 30cm x26cm ?

How many of those do you have?

I have quite a healthy amount :P

I'll take one please Alex :)

I'll take 'many'... not sure how many but 'many'.

Drop me a PM with your address and stuff. :)

i will have a piece 26cm x 30cm can you do that ?

My poor inbox....

Since this seems to be pretty popular I'm going to limit the amount of hardox one person can take. It seems odd but since it's a pretty rare thing I want to make sure it gets to as many builders as it can rather than just a few.

EDIT: PM sent Terry

Are you able to get more after this lot?

I can't spare the money right now.
This turning out a rather expensive month already...

Niels I would just get in touch with whoever your local hardox supplier is when you need it. Chances are, if a sheet gets rolled at 2mm they will know who to get in touch about it and you miss out on the postage charges etc.

My neighbours metal company went belly-up a year ago...
Sourcing a decent local supplier that is willing is becoming a fantasy at this point...

Well that was initially a bit hectic but I'm caught up with the backlog.

I have 1 37.5x37.5cm sheet left and quite a few of the 25x25cm ones. I won't be cutting anymore as the only hardox sheets I have other than those I need.

Got a few of the sheets left. 1x 37.5cmx37.5cm (£35+£7.50 postage) sheet and 5x 25x25cm sheets.

This is the last of the stock I'm going to be selling. I'll be able to post early next week.

Down to the 37.5cm sheet and only 3 25cm sheets now.

is Hardox sheets hard to cut?

As long as you have an angle grinder it's fairly easy stuff to cut. But it is a wear steel so it's pretty resistant to drilling and handsaws/jigsaws.

Oh, so what is the recommend approach to attaching to a robot?

Anglegrinding and welding is most used.

Some have acces to a plasma torch, what makes curves a lot easier to make.

Trowing money at the problem and having the sheet water or lasercut.

Damn, looks like I'll have to use HPDE instead.

Any of these still for sale or anybody who bought them looking to sell them on? I could use a few of them!
