What is the use case Geoff?

I made up a T slot bed out of multiple extrusions in the past. Ended up being a pain because you don't want to cut straight onto it....

Now I just use sacrificial MDF and much easier.

MDF with T track in it?

This is the fourth CNC machine I've built. I want the T slot bed to make it easier to fix various jigs, including vacuum pucks, rotary axis, etc. The jigs incorporate their own spoilboards, so no danger of damaging the bed. I've been using mdf spoilboards for years, but, for this machine I want the t slot bed as the mdf bed is a pain with the jigs I use.

Since posting this thread I have found a Chinese supplier who is said to be reliable and reasonably priced. Despite the slow shipping It may be worth the risk. Something to think about.
