Congratulations to Kevin Berera, our Metal My Way Grand Prize winner! He and a guest are heading to SEMA in Las Vegas this November.

Kevin's winning project is a giant RC buggy. It's 5 feet long, weighs about 160 lbs and runs on a 70cc engine. He designed and machined almost every part himself, from the welded tube chassis to the 6061 aluminum components. He even built the tube notcher and bender he used. It took seven years of weekends, with metal from Metal Supermarkets Vancouver (Richmond).

Thank you to everyone who entered this year. You made the judges' job very hard.

Not something just any supplier can get their hands on!

We sourced this hard to find 8.00” x 8.00” x .187” aluminum square tube because our customer was out of options with other suppliers.

Within the same day we tracked down what others couldn’t!

Hard to find sizes, grades and shapes don’t scare us, if it’s out there the team at Indy West will find it! Stop in and browse our extensive selection of heavily discounted offcuts and enjoy our open shop policy where you can browse it all in the main shop.

Stretch steel, also called expanded metal, is made by cutting a steel sheet and stretching it, not by punching material out.

Our latest blog covers how it's made and how steel behaves when it's stretched.

Read it here:

Learn what stretch steel is, how elasticity and ductility work, and what yield strength means for metal projects.

Tolerances separate a part that fits perfectly from one that doesn't fit at all.

Length, thickness, diameter, flatness... Every dimension needs acceptable limits, and different manufacturing processes deliver different levels of accuracy. Our latest blog explains what dimensional tolerances are, why they matter, and what to consider when specifying them.

Read it here:

Learn what dimensional tolerances mean for metal parts, how they affect fit and function, and how to specify them correctly.

Galvanized sure has been a hot item the last few months! While it can be difficult to source pre galvanized items we always have the advantage of galvanizing after material is cut!

For this customer we cut it to size, drilled oversized holes and sent these out to our galvanizer!

Loaded up on our delivery truck to the job site!
