Check out Metal Supermarket in Tri-County. They are a bit pricey but they will cut it to exactly the length you need.

Or you can check the cut-offs/remnants at American Metal Supply in Blue Ash. I think they have a minimum buy of $25 and its based by pound, if I remember correctly it was in the neighborhood of $0.45/lb for steel. I don't think they priced hot roll different from cold roll. Stainless was more expensive. But they typically have a good selection and at usable lengths.

Hirschberg in Lockland has shorts and they are just that short pieces of steel, nothing more than a few inches in length. There stuff is basically
whatever is on the floor is a short.
