What we cut

10 metals, 74 stocked thicknesses. Every entry below is exactly what the quote tool offers — this list and the pricing engine read from the same data.

304 Stainless Steel

304

18-8 stainless with a 2B mill finish. Corrosion-resistant, food-safe, and clean off the laser — the go-to for fixtures, guards, and anything that lives outdoors or gets washed down.

9 thicknesses stocked, up to 0.12".

5052 Aluminum

5052-H32

The workhorse sheet aluminum: excellent corrosion resistance, takes a bend well, and cuts beautifully on fiber. The default choice for brackets, panels, and enclosures.

9 thicknesses stocked, up to 0.125".

6061-T6 Aluminum

6061-T6

The classic structural alloy in sheet form — stiffer and stronger than 5052, the right call when the flat part bolts into a machined assembly.

9 thicknesses stocked, up to 0.125".

260 Brass

260 (cartridge brass)

Cartridge brass: warm color, easy soldering, good spring properties in half-hard sheet. Popular for decorative work, contacts, and shims.

9 thicknesses stocked, up to 0.125".

110 Copper

110 (ETP)

Electrolytic tough pitch copper — maximum conductivity for bus bars, grounding straps, and electrical work. Reflective enough that we keep it to thinner gauges.

5 thicknesses stocked, up to 0.062".

Mild Steel (A1008)

1008/1010 cold rolled (ASTM A1008)

The everyday fabrication steel: strong, affordable, easy to weld and paint. The right call for brackets, fixtures, and anything that gets powder coated — just keep it dry or finished, since bare mild steel will rust.

7 thicknesses stocked, up to 0.12".

2024-T3 Aluminum

2024-T3 (ASTM B209)

The classic aircraft-structure alloy: strength close to mild steel at a third of the weight. The pick for high-stress brackets and fittings — note it doesn't weld well, so design for fasteners.

10 thicknesses stocked, up to 0.125".

7075-T6 Aluminum

7075-T6 (ASTM B209)

Among the strongest aluminum alloys made — yield strength in rebar territory. For parts where stiffness and strength-to-weight are everything; skip it if you plan to bend or weld.

6 thicknesses stocked, up to 0.125".

510 Phosphor Bronze

510 (ASTM B103, H08 spring temper)

Phosphor bronze in spring temper: fatigue-resistant, corrosion-proof, and springy. The material for contacts, clips, bellows, and marine hardware with a warm bronze color.

7 thicknesses stocked, up to 0.09".

Grade 5 Titanium (6Al-4V)

Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5, annealed (ASTM B265)

Aerospace-grade Ti-6Al-4V: the strength of steel at 56% of the weight, biocompatible and nearly immune to corrosion. Premium stock priced accordingly — expect material cost to dominate small orders.

3 thicknesses stocked, up to 0.063".
