Check Outwater Plastics, They sell crome plated tubes Longest is 8 Ft. Reasonable also. Have to do some searching on their website though.

Found these, but they have too large of a diameter...I will look a little more.

These look promising, if you do knot mind the price!

You might find more at some of these links.

Welcome, rstaron! Thanks for trying to help. I was knot able to find any 1" tubing @ Outwater, but still, it may be there.

And there it is! Page 132. Good show, rstaron!

I do knot have a way to measure the thickness of round tubing. The Outwater product is 14ga; the product in my link is available in different ga, up to 11ga. Anyone know what the SS tube thickness is???

I think you will find this tubing to be a little over 1 inch due to the plating process. I have some of this in my shop that I use regularly for custom closets. It did not come from Outwater but I think it is from the same MFG. It will not work with my 520.

That dude came by my house the other day and cut one of my boards to short. If anyone else sees him, let me know.
