Dear God... How big of an extrusion do you need? They make a 3" x 6"

Magnode in Monroe, Ohio can make extrusions up to 17" in diameter.
Their website doesn't seem to be working at the moment, otherwise I'd post the link.
I need extrusions that can hold a 35 mm thk rail in them. THe longest piece I need is aroudn 60 inches. Please post me some links.
Thanks a lot!!!
Isn't 35mm around an 1.5"? They make 80/20 plenty big enough for that size. The 3" wide should do fine. However, you're going to pay for it.
Why can't you use aluminum channel to support the bearings?
80/20 is over kill in my opinion. Take a look at Shopbottools.com table. They even have plans for it. This is what I am using only aluminum.
Up to you though.
I believe the 80/20 that is 3x6 is around $2.50 an INCH so times that by 60 and you are looking at $150.00 just for one rail.
I called 80/20 and they said they did not make anything big enough to have a t slotted part to be 35 mm. I will take a look at the website you gave me.
Thanks a lot...keep em comming!
P.S. can you send me a link to shopbottools page where the aluminum chanels are? I couldn't find them...
You don't want the the THK rail to sit in the T-Slot... You want it to sit above it and use a T-nut in the T-slot so that you can bolt the THK rail to the 80/20.

For a long time, one of the leaders in extrusions for machine building has been ITEM, they have been taken over by Parker at http://www.parker.com/ead/cm1.asp?cmid=809
