2 mm Steelwire

[DJP]

I want to make my own slides, sections should be at least 25cm in length, preferably as long as possible.

I can only get 20cm sections for grabs but those are to short.

Any help and tips will be greatly appreciated.

THANKS!

If you dont use Stainless steeel then your local Co-op or farmers store should have small roles.

welding suply stores 2 mm tig rods

Was actually refering to stainless steel or preferably springsteel, dont think the normal steel will work?

How strong are those tig rods?

Phone Dup, he supply steel wire for slides and sinkers. He is in Empangeni 0741037036

Springsteel gaan die "goedkoopste" opsie wees.

Bestel van DUP af. Ek het al rond gekyk en sy pryse bly nogsteeds die beste.

AS jy wil kan jy Springman in Parow probeer, maar dan moet jy ten minste 10kg vat as ek dit nie verkeerd het nie.

Phone affrox in stikland or paardeneiland they stock 2mm, 1.6mm 1.4mm ect stainless rods. You can buy per kg..... cheap cheap!!!!

Kan nie lekker onthou nie, maar het baie duurder uitgewerk as DUP sin met postage ingewerk.

Maak soos Mielie sê, bel vir affrox en vra hoeveel hulle 1.6mm en 2.0mm TIG Stainless Steel wedling rods kos.  Kan miskien die antwoord wees.
