I am looking for a material supplier that would stock thin walled tubing. In steel I would need 1.75" diameter x .008" wall, and in aluminum 1.75" diameter x .025" wall. Lengths for each tube need to be over 70". Currently I can only find minimum runs of a 1000', which doesn't work well for prototyping.

Thanks

What steel grades?
Your best bet would be a distributor of aircraft alloys. They love the light walls.
In stainless we make some sizes like 1.5" x 0.016" wall. Finding anything lighter might be difficult.
