Re: Custom Extrusions

I would make a drawing of the cross section to be extruded and send it to a shop for a quote if you want a good idea. Also the smallest quantity I've ever been able to get is ~1000 lbs. order.

Tooling isn't too expensive (relatively) as long as the cross section is simple and the wall thickness is constant. The shop should take your net shape and correct it to a mold for die swell etc. once you have and agreement.
