2x1 and 2x2 1/16" wall 6061-T6 Tubing for Sale

[AdamHeard]

Finally getting around to posting this now that teams are running again for the fall.

Was able to make the process a lot easier for us, and get a shipping discount, so prices have dropped a good deal.

The prices will float slightly w/ the price of aluminum changing, but they will roughly be;

160' of 2x1 1/16" wall is $290
80' of 2x2 1/16" wall is $195

Shipping is $50 per 160' of 2x1 (or 80' of 2x2').

We can mix and match as long as the total length is equivalent to 160' of 2x1 (so swap 10' of 2x1 for 5' of 2x2).

Shorter lengths available on request, but prices will be higher. We can also get other wall thicknesses and tube sizes if desired.

Tubing will be shipped in 5' +/- .25" Lengths on about a two week lead time. Material is 6061-T6.

Email 973tubing at Gmail to order.

Thanks Adam!
Finding 1/16" wall has been a bit tricky for us, though not impossible.
We will likely take you up on this offer.

Bill,

Call Coast Aluminum, based in Hayward. We use them and Adam likely is too. They will ship for free and costs per lb is low if you order 100-200 lbs at a time.

Adam is offering this primarily for many teams that aren't within Coast Aluminum's delivery area but would like to use these hard-to-find 6061-T6 sizes (which are great for FRC robots).

Their number is (510) 441-6600

Saw this earlier today, I thought OnlineMetals didn't carry this before?

That is a new addition, maybe they watch chief delphi

Have noticed this and intend to get some.

Noticed in site that it appears maybe this is a rounded corner version? Not preferred but still attractive? Anyone gotten some samples yet?

What we're selling is sharp corner and cheaper.

Is there any specific end date to this deal?

Can we order smaller quantity? - say half - what will adjustment be?

[Michael Blake]

I have a question... would you use the 2x1 1/16" to make an H-chassis for West Coast Drive Train using VEXpro VersaBlocks?

Or would you not go any thinner than 1/10" like the VEXpro VersaFrame 2x1?

With stout bumpers it could work well.

Rick, perhaps we could split and order since we are right up the road.

Sorry for a thread revival.

Since Online Metals continually sends out coupons and I had a decent one I ordered a piece of the 2x1 1/16th 6061 tube from Online Metals. While the picture shows round corners it does in fact come with sharp corners.

Adam has a cheaper option but if teams preferred going with the Online Metals version later for some reason don't worry about the picture it won't come with rounded corners.
