Product Overview

Churro is a versatile extruded aluminum hex profile. The outside of this part is a 1/2 in. hex with small concave dimples which act as weight savings. There is an inside hole is sized at 0.2 in. in order to fit 1/4-20 thread forming screws. No tapping or threading is needed, as long as a thread forming screw is used. The outside hex size fits a 1/2 in. wrench or socket. You can use am-1182 to secure components to churro. Longer thread forming screws are available if you need to attach larger items to churro.

The 3-foot churro, our most popular length and the best value on shipping, is available anodized in red, blue, purple, gold and black to dress up your robot. Anodized finish is hardy and doesn't flake off or add thickness like paint, but it is possible for a scratch to expose the bare metal beneath. Take basic precautions in your shop like watching for sharp tools or overtightening this churro in a vise.

The anodizing process may result in colors that are not exact to the reference photo. FED-STD-595 is a color description system. These anodized products can be described by this system as follows:
Red: 31310-31136
Green: 24449-24272
Violet: 27142-27144
Blue: 35183-35180
Gold: 10260-10371

    Yum!

    Let me just say that this is one tasty piece of aluminum. It's got that crispy fried exterior that's just perfect for sinking your teeth into, and the inside is soft and fluffy - almost like a cloud made of metal 🤤 10/10 would eat again, definitely lacks sugar tho

    IS EDIBLE

    Could use the Cinnamon and Sugar tho. If you say it's inedible, you're not trying hard enough. (AndyMark response: we appreciate our customers' humor!)

    Great Product

    This stuff is so versatile. We use it as standoffs, light axles, support structure, prototyping material, and more. It's easy to tap with a thread forming screw. It comes in awesome colors (though we buy the long silver ones and get them custom anodized on our own). We make sure to always have extra Churro around the shop.

    Good Stuff!

    I've used this stuff as spacers, light-duty hex shaft, and to fill/guide in some "impossible" situations requiring 120 degree angles, and even as a structural elements in Christmas decorations, and it's never failed to satisfy. Also, I find it pleasing that it's available in all the heraldic colors and metals.
