im looking for about 25' of 3'' tubing......
is this considered a small quantitiy?
or will i have to go to some industrial place or somthin?

all i know is pipe's a hell of alot cheaper......

3" tubing i thinnk like $6 p/foot
2-7/8 pipe $3 p/foot


who cares about 1/8 less anyways, wall thickness can vary and you can prob get them in same thickness

(measured the O.D)^

my top three pics

Here are my top three

1. Usenco steel, Surrey between Port Mann and Patello (sp?) 604.584.4334, awesome prices, gr8 people, and open saturdays till noonish.

2. Exact Metals, Burnaby near Brentwood Mall, 604.294.070, expensive but awesome selection and well organized, lots of cold rolled materials.

3. ABC Traders, Richmond, 604.278.1731. Some new stock, mostly used. They sell used metal by the pound, lots of sheet stock. They buy metal WHY too.

steal and aluminum

Hey guy my fater runs a welding shop in langley I'm steal as you guys would say youngin

but Fort Fab always has scrap plate both aluminum and steal I'll second alder stael mart and talk to Larry Or Rob there
if you looking for something you can
e-mail me too I can get some stuff real cheap if it is in the yard at the shop
if you don't mind hitting it witha wire
wheel first al for tubing and pipe
you can try reliable tube on production way just east of 264 and 56th (off of 56th) close to 272 not sure how they deal with small orders but you never know

also 25 feet is a small amount :D

pipe is for plumbing tube is for exos:******* its the way it bends, pipe crushes more when bent and loses strenght, tube doesnt, im not saying you cant build an exo out of pipe tho
