    Since this topic comes up from time to time I thought I'd share another option.

    Today my work brought me to an aerospace company. Their supplier was Sandvik Materials in PA.

    Just tossing it out there, have no idea what their minimums are, but the stock order I was inspecting was almost 200 lengths of 24' in 304L.

    I must be blind but I can't find Aero tubing or oval tube on their list of products. Or is it available, just not on their web site?

    Interesting. I poked around a bit myself. I wonder if they were to specific customer supplied die?

    They were PN 27900 Airfoil 1.83" major axis x 1.197" minor axis. Is that a standard major:minor ratio of perhaps specific to customers' needs?
