I get an email list once a week from my material supplier where I get my SS & AL and have been buying a fair amount off this list I just ordered some bar stock that says water stained for .73 a pound. I find the material to be in better shape than some of the stuff I buy that is not on sale. I much prefer water stains as opposed to scratched to hell. I normally buy .375" x 2" 6061 bar stock for a product I make but they had some .375" x 2.5" for .73 normally I pay $2.54 a pound and all the parts get tumbled anyway. I wonder if this material is coming from an area that flooded and was paid for by an insurance company? I don't really care it machines just like the expensive stuff so far. I will check on this batch to see if it is marked with the mill it came from.
