I am after some 17 gauge galvanised steel bases for ADLG/DBx etc. Does anyone know a good UK supplier?

I have tried both Precision Wargames Supplies & Supplies for Wargamers. They are great but their bases are a lot thinner than 17 gauge.

When I search online the firms only offer tolerances of about 2 mm which is no good at all.

Any help gratefully received.

The sheets are easy to find it’s someone who’ll cut them that’s the issue.

Must say I’m interested in the cost as I had a 10″ rack plate cut for me and there is a £50 set up fee per run if I need any more…

Hopefully your will be less as mine was a complex cut 🙁
