Hi everyone!
I am currently working on a project that requires equilateral hexagonal tubing. At first, I assumed it would be relatively easy to get hold of. Unfortunately, I was wrong. After days of scouring many sites, I simply haven't found an affordable supplier, so I wanted to ask you guys if you have any preferred suppliers. 
For reference, here are the specs I'm looking for:
-Hexagonal both on the inside and out
-Length: 50mm
-Inner diameter: inscribed within a 60-70mm circle
-Wall thickness is not important
-Finish: Glossy woven
I'd appreciate any recommendations, thanks, Jack18

Hexagonal shaped tubing is in itself very rare and quite hard to find. We do not have any preferred supplier for those tubes.  I have yet to see any in the exact specification you have asked for.

Thank you for the reply Warren,

I can certainly agree that it's rare - I never thought it would be so hard to find.

In your experience, is this the case for all tubing other than circular? I am looking for a shape that is angular. So far, square carbon fiber tubing seems to be a bit more common.
