Re: Aluminum
We use 6061-T6 Aluminum for most things and order through OnlineMetals.com -- though we don't have to wait for it to be shipped since they're based in Seattle. We'll get some scrap 5052 from some other places in town when we're in a pinch or when they'll donate it to the team.
Typically, I design around 1x1x1/6" tubing and all plating that needn't house a bearing is 3/16". This season, I'm trying to expand my repetoire, so I'm working with 3x1x1/8" rectangular tubing, 3x1x1/8" channel and other extrusions.
