Aluminium tubing source

[cfftelescopes]

Hallo,

are you kind to let me know a source of aluminium tubing in Germany that sells tubes in 1m lengths and has some good for telescope making?
I need one around 165mm outside diameter with thin wall and one around 200mm outside diameter with thin walls also and I can't find anything good here in Poland.
Thin walls = 1.5 - 2mm

Danke!
Catalin

Hi Catalin!
Just have a look at this company:
http://www.wmh.de/index.php?id=65
They normally don´t offer such small amounts (and for private use). They are a supplier for aircraft industries.
But last year I asked them (by mail) for a small and single piece of tube (180mm diameter - 200mm long) and it was possible. I used this tube for a ventilation system with my 6" Newton.
I contaced Mr. Peter Daams.

Here is the link to the stock articles of WMH:

May be you are lucky and they offer a suitable tube.
And may be you are lucky twice and you can order a piece.

Best Regards, Andreas
