Steady Steel

List the plate materials Steady Steel laser cuts, each with every thickness sold in it (thickness_in, inches), whether it is stocked, and a lead time in business days. Call it before quote_plate: a plate quote takes a material id and a thickness_in exactly as listed here. Empty while plate is not quoted online.

Takes no parameters.

Find the pre-designed steel products Steady Steel sells on steadysteel.org/products, by words in their name or description; send no query to list them all. Each lists its tiers: kit (the steel cut to our drawings) and welded (built in our shop), with a firm unit price in CAD cents before HST. Only a tier marked orderable can be quoted. Freight on a kit or a welded unit is quoted by Steady Steel after the order.

Price one flat plate of steel, stainless or aluminum, laser cut to an outline with holes, slots and bends, at a firm price from the engine behind the plate quoter on steadysteel.org. Every length is inches, +x right and +y up. material and thickness_in must be exactly as list_materials gives them. The outline is a rectangle, circle, ring (a washer) or polygon; holes and bends use its frame, and for a rectangle, circle or ring the origin is the lower-left corner of the box around it. texts adds up to 10 lines of lettering in the same frame, etched or cut through; the words are cut as sent, and a line carrying a link, an address or a phone number is refused. quantity is how many (1 to 999), and quantity_options prices up to five other quantities. A part that cannot be made as asked comes back blocked, with an issue saying why: change it and quote again. Amounts are CAD cents with HST as its own figure, firm until expires_at. Show the person the drawing at preview_url. Nothing is bought here: to order, make a link with create_handoff_link and give it to the person, who checks the part and pays on steadysteel.org.

Price a catalog product at its firm unit price: the slug and a tier from search_products (kit or welded), only a tier marked orderable. quantity is 1 to 50. Amounts are CAD cents before HST, with HST as its own figure. Freight is quoted by Steady Steel after the order and is not in the quote. Nothing is bought here: to order, make a link with create_handoff_link and give it to the person, who orders and pays on steadysteel.org.

Get a quote quote_plate or quote_product made, by its id, exactly as it was priced. Its status reads expired once it is past expires_at: ask for a new quote then. A quote is kept 30 days past its expiry.

Make the link the person orders from: one page on steadysteel.org showing what was quoted, with a button for each item that opens the page selling it (a plate in the plate quoter, a product on its order page), where they check it and pay. Takes one to ten quote ids, each ready and unexpired, with ten items at most across them. Give the person the url. Anyone holding it can open the page, so give it only to them. Nothing is paid through this server.

For work quote_plate and quote_product cannot price (a part from a drawing, a weldment, a repair, plate past the laser): describe the job in words, sizes in inches, and get a link to Steady Steel's quote request form with it filled in. The person adds their own name and contact details there and sends it; Steady Steel replies with a price. Send nothing about the person: a name, email or phone field, or a description carrying a link, a web or email address or a phone number, is refused. The link works for 30 days.
