Ive been ordering 6061 tubing and round bars from Aircraft Spruce for a pretty long time.
I use these to create lightsabers.
Shipping is fast when the product is in stock and approx dates on back order are usually good.
Customer service as been good when needed.
I would not hesitate to recommend this supplier.

All of Aircraft Spruces tubing is high quality stuff. I buy 4130 and aluminum tubing from these guys. Really a good place to buy this type of material.

I bought these to replace my Yakima round roof rack crossbars which were steel and would invariably after 5-6 years have rust poking up through the vinyl coating and end plugs splitting because of the rust. These aluminum tubes are a perfect fit for the roof attachment bracket and the end plugs. I bought the 6 ft., 1.125 OD with 0.125 wall thickness.

I purchased aluminum pipes for a handmade antenna used for ham radio. It perfectly works for all including cost advantage. Thank you.

The only issue that I have is when I ordered this material (10 pieces) there was not enough stock in Atlanta so the 2 lengths had to come from California . So you held up the order only for a couple days in the mean time one of your people called me (she left me a message) to say that the order was being held up cause not enough stock. I called the next day to see what was going on, your company was going to hold the Georgia material till the California order arrived. This is a bit of inconvenience to me and annoying, I know in todays world everything cant be in one place to be shipped. But I think you should ship what you have wherever it is then make the customer aware whats shipping from where. The only other thing Im not happy with is the wait time on your phones. But overall your a good company and Ive sent other companies your way to buy material.
Thanks Ricky Capellaro

The shipping costs are the lowest I have found.
The tracking number didnt work from the e-mail, so it was a surprise when it showed up at my door. My neighbor told me it was sitting outside unattended.

I am using the 3x .065 wall for alternate air for my aircraft and the quality is great. Tig welding was a breeze due to the .065. Fit up was great and was able to cut with a jigsaw and then grinder with sanding disk with a file for final fit. I got more just to have in stock.

I purchased two 6 lengths of aluminum
.500 dia x .035 wall thickness tubing. I was
Extremely pleased with the product. The shipping was fast and my biggest concern was for the tubes to be straight. I am using these
Tubes for masts on a model R.C. 1 Meter
Sailboat. They arrived perfectly straight with
Absolutely no damage. I will certainly recommend Aircraft Spruce to all the Boat Club
Members. Thanks for a great product.

Would have given this a 5. The part was not de burred and had a few sharp edges. Not an issue for those of use that work with metals but maybe for the new hobbyist.

Would have given 5 stars, however, order was incomplete with several items back ordered. This is not a problem and we would recommend you to others as a supplier.

We have been buying this tubing for years. It has always been very consistent in ID and OD.
This order was different. The ID is normally .494-.495, but most of these are .490 or so. .005 is not a big deal, but we are reaming the ID to size, and normally take off less than .001.
Taking off .006 with a reamer is a mess, and there is a lot of swearing.
I compared the markings from the different IDs, and they are the same.
The tubing is excellent quality, and we will continue to buy it. Just hoping that this is an isolated run...
