The only cast iron "tubing" I've ever seen was sewer pipe. That is very thick wall for any of that.
What in the world is that going to be used for??

one of their distributors might offer "cut to length".

You might check with Alro and see if they have a rem or drop. There usual length for durabar is 6'. It will cost a fortune, probably. I've used some durabar tubing but years ago. It is nice to machine.

It wouldn't be too expensive to make a pattern from wood and have an iron foundry cast it. Sewer pipe first came to mind, but it would only be available in long lengths and very expensive, if you could find it in the size you want.
