Does anybody know where I can buy some billet aluminum stock? I've got a project in one of my classes that I need it for. I've already got a classmate who has access to milling equipment and somebody to do the work, I just need to get the material.
Thanks.

Start calling CNC shops. How big of a piece(s) do you need? There is a CNC fab shop just up the road from me.

Looks like I need 3 each 4"x4"x3" and 3 each 4"x3"x2".

I have sourced Aluminum stock in the past from Garland Recyclers over on Shiloh. They are commercial metal recyclers, and have plenty of Aluminum go through there including billet offcuts. You are not looking for anything too big, so there is a good chance they might have something?

Last time I bought aluminum from them last year, it cost me a buck a pound.
