That wasn't right of me either. I'm sorry but sometimes we need to get away from "The Uncle Dave's Way". The steel that you are referring to is not designed to be perfect. It is structure steel, heavy construction, made to be welded, not machined to some standard of perfect. By the time you do all the milling, wear and tear on your equipment, wear on your tooling (not to mention breakage) maybe it would be cheaper to buy the good stuff to start with.
I know---------------my two cents

This kind of metal I found is very common so if I can make it work, that will be an advantage. I much prefer the strap that is rolled on all 4 sides but it seems to be replaced by just shearing larger sheets of steel. The edges tend to be rather sharp which I certainly do not like.

Hi Rick
I think I would find a strip that was not sheared.
I got some CRS strips that are rolled on all 4 sides.
I think it would not take much to true them up.
