Best place to buy steel is the scrap yard....many manufacturing places simply weigh in their offcuts, and its worth asking if you can buy some...

You will pay a little over scrap, but can get a selection of materials for a fraction of their new cost, and best of all its cut up for you...8x4 sheets are a pain in the ass to handle and store...

2mm is thick really
i only use 2mm cos i have alot of it. i aquired from a job i did..
i would be more likly to buy and use 1.2mm, will be easer to work with

Thin stuff will go with tin snips, thicker a grinder with a slitting disc i guess...
I use a guillatine, metal shears or plasma cutter most of the time....or oxy-propane if its proper thick!

I got mine from metals4u but it was a generous order (including 15 meters of cds roll cage tube and 6 meters of stainless hydraulic pipe) no probs with the service and would use again
