Aluminum tubing sizes?

Any one have a good website that explains the different type of aluminum tubing sizes? What fits into what and so on? I made a few beams out of scrap metal and think I have it all worked out. Now I want to buy some aluminum pieces and make it right.

Also what size would be best suited to thread a 3/8 x 24 stud in to? I want to have a longer section on my screwdriver when I’m parked. Use less coil.

Lastly what about the different types of aluminum. Which would be recommended for a big 20 meter yagi? What would I get away with on a 6 meter rover that I’m going to put together and take apart a lot of times?
