Aluminum tube or pipe

[FredM]

Anyone here have a good online source for some Al pipe?

Needs to be 1" or 1.5" ID but I only need a few feet. Most local places only want to sell me 20 ft length.

Yes...the place you need is McMasters Carr. Put Aluminum Tubing in search box on left, and it has one of the best systems for "drilling" down to the sizes and details you need. Pick your ID/OD in drop down boxes.

OnlineMetals.com also sells Al tubing in various sizes and you can buy one inch if you're so inclined. I find them to be among the least expensive as far as small-qty. metals are concerned.

Wicksaircraft.com, out of Illinois...Great customer service, and fast shipping.

Aircraftspruce.com has some interesting metals too, but higher priced than onlinemetals.com and maybe even mcmaster.com. I really like McMaster for their fast service and fast, cheap shipping. I place my orders with the Santa Fe Springs store and get my stuff early the next morning (they don't use UPS or USPS, etc. They have a delivery driver.)

Been there done that, maybe a little pricey, but they have a good selection.

I second McMaster-Carr, however I must confess I've never dealt with any of the other stores mentioned.

Ask your local sources if they have scrap that you can buy. Sometimes, they'll custom cut orders and leave the leftovers for sale. Where are you located?
