Aluminium tubing

(1/2) > >>

yorkie_chris:
I'm looking to source some aluminium tubing.
Must have a nice finish on OD, be 12mm OD fairly exactly, and have 3mm wall thickness.

Answers on a postcard :)

Your local metal merchant should be able to source that, but it's going to cost you top dollar...

So ..... How fairly is your exactly ??

Shipping is horrendous ... but

Tube itself is cheapish ... maybe give some idea ( if you find some in a local stockist  ) if it's a rip-off or not ..

Most extruded tube will be in imperial sizes

Try searching for hollow bar stock

I have some fairly short bits (20-50mm) that are 1/2" OD and 1/4" ID. Is that similar to what you are after? My father gave them to me. I can find out where he got them. They have a fairly even matte finish, and I'm pretty sure they're aluminium.
