Where can I buy 8x10" structural tube in Chicago
I am not looking for a great deal. I just need to get it for whatever
is the market price. I need a structural rectangular tube, about 4 feet of it, dimensions 8x10 inches in cross section by 0.625" to 3/4" thick. Does anyone know any steel supplies who procure that sort of stuff. Thanks |

You might be able to substitute it for 8x10 by rotating it 90 degrees. -- jiw |

That sounds like a pretty complicated operation, there -- don't you need special fixtures to do that? -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com |

Thanks Any steel supplier can order you that. A steel supplier who services building builders should have it in stock. |

Thanks I like Wexler & Sons. Very friendly and willing to deal with orders that are seemingly not even worth their time. there's a scap pile and you can sort of "shop" in the warehouse too. http://www.wexlersteel.com/ The website is about all you'd expect from a steel yard- give them a call. They've got a fab shop with no website, so they can get or make anything. Central Steel might be OK too. I've chatted with them, but never dropped by. |

Wexler does not cut, but they referred me to someone who does cut and had a suitable piece. I will go there tomorrow. Thank you!!! i |

I've watched the HEM saw at work. Sheared plate comes from another place called LPI, and they ship stuff back and forth daily. I'm not clear on the connections, but it works every time. |
