Anyone need 7075 aluminum?
on: June 22, 2012, 10:28:24 PM
I have a piece of aircraft certified 7075 bar stock that I really have no use for, but thought someone here might.  It's pretty heavy, so shipping might not really make it worth sending out to anyone.

I don't want any $ for it, but would trade it for something?  I'd put trade value at $80, which is about half of what it is worth new to buy.

Due to the size and weight, I'd prefer to stay within Canada for shipping this.

I'd jump on that but I have no idea what I'd do with it!

I've been buying 6061 sheet for liners, but Im not sure what I could do with a big chunk.  If I had a milling machine up Id jump on that for something....  :think:

That's exactly the problem. I have lots of ideas for it but no way to turn the block into a finished product.

If you will consider shipping it to the US I'd be interested in trading.  :tu:  I could kick in some $$$ for shipping?

Let me know your ZIP code, and I'll look to see how much it would cost to ship it your way.  I have a feeling it might be scary though!

What I'm wondering about is whether the postal service will manage to break this item during transit.  :rofl:

Droool.

My mill can only handle a 6" tip to tip chunk of material.

If only I had an idea.
Why stop now?

Well, it's definitly not cheap.
Xpresspost USA is $40.38
Expedited Parcel USA is $27.08
Purolator and Fedex are about the same as Canada Post

I think looking at those prices, it might not really be worth it.

Anyone?  I might just take this to the recyclers to see how much I can get for it.

Only because of the shipping cost of it. It's a heavy chunk of metal!  :-)
