15mm rods. Anyone now a good supplier?

[whitm]

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone new a supplier for 15 mm support rods. It just seems that $100.00 is a bit pricey fro something so simple and inxepesive a a little aluminum or stainless steel. Any thought would be appreciated?
Thanks
Whit

Mcmaster-Carr has close to 15mm 12" stainless steel rods.

Schedule 40 is $9, and schedule 80 is $39.

I'm not sure what the structureal difference is, anybody know?

FYI - Easy Focused Lens is no longer selling Carbon Fiber rods, but he hasn't updated his website in a long time (his words). I talked to him on the phone today. I had ordered a set and I'm waiting for him to refund my money via Pay Pal.

I just did process your refund.

And he did! Thanks Dan. I wish you did have them, they were a great deal for carbon fiber rods.

McMaster-Carr

McMaster-Carr

Carbon steel rods (tubes) in 15mm are available from McMaster Carr at 3 feet for about $10.00. Part # 50295K331 at http://www.mcmaster.com/

For that price I could afford a little steel wool and WD-40 to clean them every once in a while.

We have 15mm carbon fibre iris rods and support systems in-stock. 25 and 40cm (9.8" and 15.7" respectively).

Mother :furious3: !!!!!!!!!!

Where was this info a couple months back when I was looking for 15mm rods!!!!!

Damn! Damn!!! Damn!!!!!

Seriously, thanx for the resource. I paid $40 bucks for Cavision's 15mm rods and for what they are they just seem way too over priced!!!

Thanx again!

This is tubing with a wall thickness that is about 1mm... so I would say that they are about the same weight as any other 15mm rod that is steel. Heavier than carbon fiber but not too bad.

 

[bilgami]

theres a guy on here who posted pics of the rods he made himself. sorry i cant recall who it was but im sure something will come up in a search.

 

[Noah]

Has anyone gotten the 15mm steel rods from McMaster and verified that they work fine? This seems like a great option for me.

 

[waefre]

Oh here's the thread I was looking for! Hurrah! There are a couple options.
