Thread: Question on source for aluminum tubing for hilt and emitter

    Default Question on source for aluminum tubing for hilt and emitter

    Hello I am fairly new and still building my first saber. I was wondering for a true DYI if and where others have gotten aluminum tube, not sink tubing from. What sizes did you order?

    Thanks

    You'll probably want to order from a place that promises telescopic fit.

    Standard MHS v1 is just under 1"1/2 or 38mm, which is probably your best bet for a saber OD. As JB said, telescoping tube is a good option. Next size up for shrouds. Next size down, good for building your own chassis. A Google search for ally tubing will no doubt yield results for stockist in your area or at least in you country.
    Good luck with the build and MTFBWY.

    Try Google. I have purchased from a few different places. Aluminum, brass, etc. Watch prices and shipping. However, you can do some really nice stuff with parts from TCSS. Ass some shrouds, etc and they customize really nice, too. To do your own,m you're going to need a lathe and a mill would be nice (I wish I had one from time to time.)

    Do you know what places and what sizes you ordered?

    Just an FYI, it's bad forum etiquette to post other places to get saber parts on the the forum here, as this is part of a store that sells saber parts.

    Thanks for the warning, I truly apologize. I have ordered everything else from TCSS and will continue to do so. Is there another place I can post that would not break any etiquette? I never intended any breach of forum etiquette.
