source for aluminum tubing with rounded corners?
I've been ordering a bunch of round tubing from Aircraft Spruce
but the only square tubing they advertise has sharp corners. I need some 1" square tubing with rounded corners. The specs. are not critical beyond that; I'll try to work with what's available. Any pointers? Thank you. --kyler |

The specs. are not critical beyond that; I'll try to work with what's available. I ordered some tubing from 80/20 Inc. http://www.8020.net/ Later I found that a new hardware store in town carries it too. It *almost* works but I realized that I need something that is just slightly smaller. I'm not sure if I need a fractional size or simply a 25mm tube. I'm working on that today. Either way, I doubt that I'll be able to find small quantities of such tubing. I've been calling and no one seems to stock it. 'looks like I might have to get a sheet metal brake and bend my own tube (and then weld it with my spiffy new Precision TIG). --kyler |

My suppliers catalogue shows
square corner 1x1 as 6063 and round corner 1x1 as 6061. This is probably how they keep their inventory differentated. |
