As I bough this brass in another country, but ran out of it during a project, I would like to know if anyone can tell me where I have a good chance of finding 1 mm x 0.75 mm brass.
Oh, and as this is my first post... Hello to all!
Welcome to the Forum Sven.
You could try Elieen's Emporium who carry a wide range of metal sections (brass and nickel silver). Their website address is http://www.eileensemporium.com/
Thanks for the link. They do have a lot there. Unfortunately, 1 x 1.5 mm is the smallest they've got. I might be lucky at the Warley exhibition in Birmingham, next month.
They do some diferent ones in the "metal strips and sheets" area. F01005 is 1.0 mm by 0.5 mm and comes in 250 mm, 500 mm and 1000mm lengths (listed as a 'flat section) which is a little thinner than the 0.75 mm you are looking for, though they also sell some 0.3 mm thick material (F1003) and some 0.15 mm thick (F10015) that could be used in various combinations to make up strip to match the 0.75 mm thickness you need (2 off F1003 and one F10015 would do it).
As an alternative you could try looking for an imperial equivalent. 1 mm by 0.75 mm equates to 40 thou. by 30 thou. (or 0.040" X 0.030". It will be 1.02 mm by 0.76 but as I suspect that most people will not be worried by the odd 1/100 mm or so different I suspect that what we buy in the UK is actually metric.
Thanks for the help and the calculation in imperial sizes. I embrace the day the get really rid of that system. I'll post a picture of what I'm making, so you'll see that it would be silly to combine strips to make the one I need.
Try modellersmate.co.uk If you can't see what you want on the site give him a call
Excellent link, they've got other things I can use as well (so can't we all? :laugh:).
