I'm a bit concerned about the tolerances though. I'm looking at sheet stainless steel and alum, and it shows a tolerance of + or - 1/4". I suppose that if I needed a precisely cut panel, I could always give them a call with my request. I'll likely order from them in the future since I've been slightly unhappy with McMaster's prices and steel finishes in the future. The last stainless steel bars I ordered looked as if they spent a few months in a swamp and I had to go through quite a few wire brushes to clean them up.
