Not a woodworking question per se, but I am thinking about making a little upgrade to my planer with some 1" square steel tubing and I'd like to use those black plastic square plugs to finish off the ends. The tubing is 1" square and .100" wall thickness. I've been digging but can't seem to find any suppliers that sell these in qtys less than a big honkin crate.

Anyone know of a place where you can buy small qtys of these sorts of things?

Thanks

I was at the orange borg, and they had 'em also... right where they sell square mild steel & angle iron.

I see you found them already, but my favorite sources for stuff I can't find at my friendly local hardware store are:

If these guys don't have it, it probably isn't made of plastic....
