Greetings, I am in the process of building a CNC router and one of the pieces I need is a flat piece of 3/8 in aluminum 3in X 7 1/2in. I bought a piece of some 6061 bar Order Aluminum 6061 Rectangle in Small Quantities at OnlineMetals.com Unfortunately it is slightly cupped. About 7 1/2 thou. Is there another type of aluminum that would be flat? Thanks. Rick  |

| Mic6, or cast tooling plate is dead flat. If you watch Ebay, you can probably find a small piece. I've bought a few that were about 5"x15", for about $15. MIC-6 CAST TOOLING ALUMINUM PLATE 3/8" x 12" x 12" | eBay

| Thanks Gerry, It sure helps to know the name of things. I did a Google search and found this site. Looks like I can get just the size I need. https://www.midweststeelsupply.com/s...FQFubAodLy3rZw Rick |
