Where is the best place to get DOM tube in B'ham area?

Boosted Josh · Jun 21, 2017

Anyone got any suggestions as to where the best place to get 1.75" 0.95 wall DOM in the Birmingham area?

I got pricing from BESCO and they wanted $4.38 a foot for a 100' order. That price seems at least a $1 too high.

I appreciate any suggestions.

Metal supermaket is another option. No idea on pricing.

I'll have to call them and see if they can get 0.095 wall. I checked online and they didn't list it but they did have 0.120. I did get an online quote for 0.120 wall at $4.32 a foot.

This is for a cage for a SxS so I'd don't really want 0.120 wall.

I have bought a lot of DOM with JMS steel and their price is always very competitive

Besco .120 wall DOM is $73ish per 21-22' stick.
There .095 is more cause its not common size for them so they dont get the price breaks etc.

I started to realize that 0.095 isn't nearly as common as 0.120 as I called around today. I also realized that I have to use 0.095 because I can't find anyone that makes bungs for a Yamaha YXZ for any size other than 0.095.

A buddy of mine told me to go to Miller Steel in Anniston. But by the time I figure in the gas and time to drive out there I'm not sure the savings are worth it.

We are on the wrong coast for .095 haha

I bet if your real handy you could grind/sand/turn (or probably just stare at it long enough) the .025" to fit the bung in .120 wall tube

I probably could give it the stink eye hard enough to whittle off the 1/16" difference.
