Where can I get a block of steel made

[vkurup]

I am looking to get a small block of steel with a hole in the middle. Not very big about 7 cm or so (will get the exact dimension later).


Any idea where I can get one of these made.

Just pop to an engineering company on your nearest industrial estate. I'd try not to use the made though.

I work for a sheet metal work company, do you know how thick you need it to be? Also what is the diameter of the hole in the middle?

A few years ago we had a new cloakroom made. The guys who put the sink in, did not drill the hole properly, so the bottom of the hole is slightly larger than the base screws that hole it. The idea to use a small steel sheet to cover the hole and provide support to the wobbling tap.

I havent speced it yet. I am guessing max 10x10cm flat sq/rectangle piece, thickness somewhere between 2-5mm and the hole diameter will around 2cm. I can spec it up and take some pics when i get back from work tonight. As it wont be visible, any scrap metal should be fine as long as it can take he load of people using it every day.

Sounds like stainless would be best used in those circumstances.
