Stainless Steel Ring Material
 

I have decided that I'm never going to find the ring i want and
therefor i am going to make the ring myself. My problem is not knowing
where can i find a place to get Stainless Steel to make a fairly large
ring. (about size 11, high school grad ring style...)

Any idea where i can get ahold of this? Any help would be appreciated.

Oh BTW, I forgot. I don't know what your experience with stainless is.

In case you don't have any: Get 303, 316 or 17-4. Do not get 304 or 416. There
are many more grades that I do not have experience with.

Those are the wrong search terms. That is a search for pipe. You want round
bar stock or rod.

You are never going to find pipe, that will conform exactly to required ring
sizes. It is much easier to start with solid bar and machine both the OD and ID
of the rings.

I only buy from small parts when nobody else in the entire country has what I am
looking for, since they are the most expensive supplier of everything they
carry. Almost everything they have can be bought somewhere else for much less.

Yeah, I figured.
The main suggestion, smartassed as it was, was to Google it.

How about using a SS Hex Nut? Availble from most bolt supply houses or
marine dealers

And how would you propose holding a hex nut (assuming he finds one with the
right dimensions to machine his ring) in a lathe?

Furthermore, where would he go to buy just one hex nut with the right
dimensions, that would cost him less, than say 6" of 303 stainless rod?

BTW, a size 11 requires an inside diameter of approximately 20.6 mm (.81")

Let me know when you find the nut, will ya.
