Today's topic:
Aluminum Sources...
This is a relatively easy one but perhaps not.
Of course, McMaster.com is my go to source for 99% of my robot material needs. Well, not strictly true but pretty near.
But... ...they have a pretty limited supply of thin wall aluminum U Channel and Tubing. By "thin" I mean 1/16" or so.
In tubes, I am interested in finding sources for ~.062" wall: - 1"X2"
- 1"X3"
- 2"X2"
- 2"X3"
- 3"X3"
In U channel, I am interested in finding sources for ~.062" wall: - .5"X2"X.5"
- .75"X3"X.75"
- 1"X2"X1"
- 1"X3"X1"
- 1"X4"X1"
Any help out there?

2x1 is common, but if you find these other sizes PLEASE advertise them. We've looked for thinwall larger than 2x1 and have never found it (calling suppliers, etc...).
