Title: Aluminum Diamond Plate
Post by: Taborious on April 11, 2005, 02:01:31 pm
I don't know how many people are interested in this stuff but it is a great accent as a kick plate for a cab. I looked at home depot and lowes and they were both very expensive so I did some research. I found by far the best place for this stuff  http:\\www.cutsmetal.com not only we they MUCH cheaper but they custom cut the piece for me. I purchased a 28x8 peice, metal, cut & shipping $16.00 that is a good price. So if you're interested check it out...

Wow that's a great price!
 I was looking to buy a strip of diamond plate to run around the center of my custom Foosball table. Infact I have been searching the net for month for a good price on this stuff. I almost bought a used diamond plate truck box in order to cut pieces from it.
Thanks for the info young Skywalker. May you live long and prosper. (OH wait! I think I got my sci-fi mixed up)

I have not received it yet just placed the order. but S&H was included in the price. It's basic ground delivery but for that price I can wait. I'll let you know what it looks like when I get it...

My dad has a whole sheet of this and then some in his shop. He has a sheetmetal shop. I keep trying to think of stuff to do with his good metal, because he is going to sell out of the business. I don't really know how much the sheet cost him. I'll ask what a sheet of it goes for these days. Its thick stuff though. I don't know if what your getting is thick or not. But that price seems really good. He would cut a piece that size of this stuff for that cheap. Man I ramble quite a bit when I post.

Received my order Friday. It was packed very simple just cardboard wrapped around it. but it also had a protect cover over the front to prevent scrathes. It looks great and it is the exact size I ordered. So thumbs up from here...
