This extruded round aluminum tube is supplied cut to size, with custom lengths and CNC cutting available to match the dimensions recorded for a given project. It is a straight hollow section intended for frame and structural parts, where the tube is measured, cut and then assembled with connectors or brackets. Because the length is set to order rather than fixed to a single stock size, the tube suits framebuilders who want less off-cut waste and fewer secondary cuts on site.
Extruded aluminium tube is formed by pushing heated alloy through a die, which produces a consistent cross-section along the whole length. That consistency helps when many identical pieces are needed for a repeating frame or a run of identical supports, because every cut length starts from the same profile.
CNC cutting is used to bring the tube to the required length with clean ends, which helps joints sit squarely when the frame is assembled. After cutting, burrs are normally removed and the ends checked before the tube is fitted. If holes or slots are needed, they are best drilled after the final length is confirmed so that positions line up with the mating parts.
The tube is intended for structural and frame work rather than decorative trim. Uses supported by the product description include:
Because the tube is cut to size, the required length, quantity and any secondary machining should be agreed before production so that the finished pieces match the drawing. Round tubing should be stored and handled so that the surface is not dented, since a small deformation can affect how a tube slides into a fitting. When tubes of different metals are joined, fasteners and washers that suit aluminium help reduce the risk of galvanic reaction.
This description is limited to the information recorded for this product. Specific alloys, wall thicknesses, tolerances and finishes are not stated here, and buyers should confirm the exact specification needed for their frame or structural application.
