price of steel

[pt756]

Had to get a cutting edge for 60 inch bucket, was a weld on 130 dollars, fab shop said steel just keeps going up, now higher than when covid was around,

Just had the truck in from my local supplier last week. Yep, higher than Covid times. Tariffs are not helping on either side of the border. Usually stock 6” x 3/4” weld on cutting edge as I get it in a 20’ length. I think the last time was around $26/ft CAD. I sold my last piece and need to restock, but my supplier is probably not bringing any up across the border due to the cost.

14 years ago I had local fab shop make some parts for a combine elevator at that time the price was $240.00. I had them make the same things which I picked up today, price now $394. This was for 12 gauge. I would guess 14 years ago some of that price was for creating the program to cut things out. They still had the program on file so that was not an expense this time.

Sounds like a good deal each time

My steel purchases have gone up around 30% in the last 6 months.

I don’t know of anything that has had the price go down.
