Can anyone suggest a UK supplier that sells copper, brass & brazing metals cut to size?
Also after a supplier of titanium sheet

I use Ringwood Precision Engineering for brass and copper.

No idea on titanium - I wouldn't have anything tough enough to cut it with!

A jeweller's saw will cut titanium; my first bit of maille was in 1mm Ti. I'm not suggesting it's nice - and I keep meaning to try something like Platinum King blades on the stuff - but it will do it. I'm struggling to remember where my last lot of sheet came from; I'll add it on if I remember. I have a couple of bricks (20x60x120ish) of what might be CP Ti... They make interesting paperweights, but so far that's all. Must try forging them sometime.

I didn't notice that Ringwood did non-ferrous - I only every seem to buy mild steel from them.

Reactive Metals does titanium, but it doubles in price with freight and charges, as I have found to my cost with niobium. D.

I cut titanium wire with a Platinum King Peter - and they definitely last a lot longer than regular Vallorbes, but I'm not sure they're any more efficient. I tried some sheet and gave up when I couldn't work out why I was doing it anyway!
