I'm in the process of getting quotes for the 5086 aluminum sheet and plate that will be used for a boat I'm building. All the pieces will be CNC waterjet cut on a machine which must have a 20' table. I have narrowed my search to Yarde and Pierce Aluminum. Does anyone reading this have experience with either of these companies? Would you recommend either to someone else? This boat is being built in the midwest and it would be nice to have an aluminum supplier that was closer but unfortunately I can't find one with a 20' waterjet table. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

Price Of Aluminum Plate And Sheet

I've been trying to get a handle on the price of aluminum plate and sheet that will be needed for a boat project I would like to start. Does anyone know of a website where I can determine the price of plate and sheet without having to submit for quotes? The price for aluminum seems to be falling but the prices for plate and sheet seem to be holding relatively steady. Thanks,

Bob

figure the sizes you need. and get a quote from the people who are going to do the cutting. it most likely be better to get it together. i would not want you bringing your stuff to my shop for me to cut. if you did i would mark up my cutting charges.
