Metal suppliers in South Western Ontario

[mygrizzly1022]

Hi All

I will be travelling to the South Western Ontario (Barrie, Toronto, and Windsor areas) in a couple of weeks.
Where would folks recommend a fellow source a small cache of day to day materials?
I am thinking some rounds, and hex as well as a bit of flat bar in brass and mild steel.
Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Regards.... Bert

I like going to http://www.metalsupermarkets.com/

No account, no minimum order, cut to size while you wait.

They seem to be lacking in copper tube though.

+1 for metal supermarkets!

If you stop off at the one in London on your way to Windsor there is a Lee valley right next door!!! ;D

Hi Bert;

You could check out Metal Supermarket for small cuts and different shapes. They have several stores around TO. And area.
I find Canada Steel very good to deal with for steel and aluminums
I am guessing you must be from the part of Ontario that is much
closer to the north pole ;D

Hi All


Thanks! I will have to give The Metal supermarket a try.

I am located just west of Dryden On, not quite the North Pole, but there have been winters when it has felt like it. Not this one though, I has been a great one so far this year.

Regards….Bert

Check ot Barrie Machine and Welding on Anne St in Barrie just south of Dunlop, they have the largest stock in town.

I agree with metal supermarket but barrie machine has a lot of alu and stainless steel plus sometimes they have a lot of reamers end mills and mill cutters for good deals haven't been in two years though.
