I buy my steel in 7.5 mtr lengths and what i did NO offence to Handy Andy was used his cutting list but insted of doing it in the order he had it in put 7500 into my calculator and minus for example a,b,c,d,e,f, and say 500mm left but the next cut in line would be say 750mm i then looked for others to fill it bearing in mind the cutting blade for each length has to be allowed and I got it down to 5 lengths saving me buying 1 more.

if this helps
I have read it back and its seem fine:D

Yeah its very poisonous that zinc, il prep the ends before welding as its only a coating. Deanno, is there any chance of your cutting list please if it not too much trouble?
I dont mind buuying an extra length because i know for certain that im going to mess up.
cheers.

No probs, i'm in the middle of ammending it so i'll post it up when its done.

Super thank you very much

Sorry its been a while (Been moving House)
The cutting list is done for the Box section only but for some reason I cannot get it to upload on here.
If you PM me your e-mail i'll forward it on to you.

Did you use hot or cold rolled steel for the plates?

I used off cuts in work I think most of it is hot rolled but not sure as we get both.

Thought it would be hot rolled as it sounds like it's stronger than cold rolled?

PM sent Deanno, thank you very much.
