Anyone bought any DOM tube lately? Wondering where to find and buy some 1.75" x .120" wall, OR, 1.75" x .095" wall.
Metal Supermarkets? Wilkinson?
Buying more might get a cheaper overall price......so, anyone interested in a group buy? I'm good for 100 feet.
A.J. Forsythe (you will have to buy full lengths)
Metal supermarkets (They will sell off cuts and are a little cheaper)
Northwest Fab (their lengths are random lengths and pretty pricey)
I've never shopped at Wilkinson
Karnage Fab
C.R. Metal Fab
GEM fabrication
Those are just a few.
I would be interested in getting into a group buy...also have another guy that would be interested.
both good for 100'
Larry,
Thanks for the info.
I called Wilkinson and they don't carry DOM, but would bring in a flat-deck load if I bought it all. No, I don't need to re-mortgage my house, lol.
I called Scott at Metal Super Markets and got a "rough quote" for 300 LF of 1.75" x .120" wall, based on 20ft lengths. $157.00 per 20 ft length after tax. So.......roughly $785 for each of us.
The same for .095" wall, 20 ft lengths......$126 per length, so, $630 for each of us.
Again, this is just a rough quote. The final price would be determined by the MS sales person making a call and getting the actual quote from head office, where ever that is.
Some specs;
*COST IS NOT CORRECT FOR OUR PURPOSES*.
Diameter (in) Thickness (in) ID (in) Cross Sect. Area (in^2) Tensile Strength (lbs) Cost ($/ft) Weight (lb/ft)
1.75 0.095 1.56 0.49 34,575 $5.36 1.596 lb
1.75 0.125 1.50 0.64 44,668 $5.54 2.169 lb
Considering my samurai doesn't weigh much, the .095 wall would likely work OK for me.
Anyone else interested?
