This is our first time using aluminum tubing (and welding) usually we are a 100% sheet metal design. I will definitely fix the tubing.

Do you know of any good sites to purchase square and rectangular tubing with a 1/16 inch thickness. I just got the ones on the bot from Mcmaster, but for 1/16 inch tubing they only have 1inch X 1inch.

Thanks
Coast aluminum, is great in California. We buy their sharp corner 6061 (NOT 6063!) square and rectangular. We also get a lot of round tubing from them.

There are other great metal suppliers in CA, but we've always been happy with Coast. Maybe ask 1323 what they use, they're much closer to you as you know.
