is that the same thing as the mild steel yall use for flanges. Because that's what a steel yard were i live sale.

 

I don't know I need some kinda steel to make my flanges to.
I take anything right now, cause that's the only thing in the way for me turboing my car.

 

cold rolled mild steel will work for flanges

 

how do you guys make flanges?

I was trying to plasma cut them, but it was too hot and the metal was warping...

I tried cold cutting, with a combo of chop saws, cut off tools, and my drill press, but it looked sloppy and was taking forever...

any tips appreciated

 

I take anything I do to a local machine shop. They'll mill flanges out of plate fairly cheap, and they usually have scrap metal laying around to use.

 

I had mine cut with an acetalyne torch... then used a rotary tool with a file attachement (try carbide) to smooth it out... then used an angle grinder to chanfer it out.... and finally used a drill to make the bolt holes... it looked like ----.. but it worked... took forever though... might just want a machine shop to do it if it wont cost too much

 

yeah u run into warping when u use a torch.
