Re: OnlineMetals now stocking 6061 1/16'' 2''x1'' tubing

So we have used Online metals and love them - very easy to order and reliably received next day.

Also as East Coast team had been looking for a 0.062"x 1"x2" option - we have used Vexpro Versaframe past two years - a great product (particularly if it is hard to locate holes...) but expensive and seemed we could go to 0.062" vs. 0.1" for our needs.

So we bought the 1x2x0.062 bundle of this through Adam which was roughly 2/3rds cost vs Online (after shipping) and roughly 1/2 of the versaframe - but required order of 32x5' pieces - more than we need - but teaming with other local team made this very viable and cheaper. roughly week for delivery (From CA to CT). Delivered today and looks great. I hold no stock in Adam's company.

We will remain loyal customers of Online for other shapes, and for their rapid turn time - particularly during build.
