  3. 1x1x.0625 TUBE
  4. 1x1 80/20 TUBE
  5. .25" ALUM PLATE
And of course larger alum plate thickness' machined as required for brackets, mounts, etc:
.375"
.5"
.625"
Out of curiosity, what on earth would you need to make out of .625'' aluminum sheet? That's rather overkill for FRC, I'd think. I seldom use anything above .25''.
