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

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.
To be clear, this is just 973 selling tubing as a fundraiser; I don't make anything personally off of it.

Glad you're happy with the tubing!
