Re: What stock to store for mill/lathe work?
Also, for lightweight shafting and spacers, Igus sends out some 5/8" linear bearing stuff every year. 5/8", 1/2", and 3/8" Igus shaft is a staple for us, the ceramic coating makes it really easy to slide through stuff. It is also smoother and holds better tolerance than regular aluminum in our opinion. Its good looking, and easy to machine the inside, just be careful when cutting the ceramic coating. Oh, and lots of 1x1, 1x2, and 1.25x2.5 box tube as well as all sorts of angle sizes (mostly 1x1) are really nice to have.
