Re: NEW TEAM NEEDS
Try to get 6061 alloy. 6063 takes longer to machine and tends to gum up machine cutters more. If the size you need doesn't come in 6061 don't spend too much time trying to find it. Having your own machines definately changes what and how much you buy.
973 builds their frame mainly out of 2x1 and 1x1 tubing, 1/16 and sometimes 1/8 wall thickness. We also use just about every size from 1/8x1 to 3x3 solid. After a couple seasons you should have a full list of material to suit your design style.
Check out our cad.
