    Where can I find this type of aluminum extrusion?

    Where can I purchase this type of extrusion? I need it for my design.
    (I've seen it in different dimensions, but always based on a square shape, with channels on all sides)



    Thanks.

    looks like 80/20 and if 1.5x3.0 inches its the 1530. They have a web site and a full pdf catalog available. You can sometimes find it on ebay I checked yesterday and there were a few pieces available. Hope that helps - Cheers - Jim
    BTW I built my System1 and 2 out of it - see the Photo Gallery.
    Experience is the BEST Teacher. Is that why it usually arrives in a shower of sparks, flash of light, loud bang, a cloud of smoke, AND -- a BILL to pay? You usually get it -- just after you need it.

    Item products also make extrusions, I believe they offer a more varied selection.

    I found almost exactly the same extruded shape at the salvage yard. It came from a store-front. I used it for the gantry on my plasma table.Check with commerical glass installers and they may be able to guide you

    80/20 Surplus does offer bars like this and listings are added practically every day. I work at 80/20 Surplus and we may be getting some of this in early next week. In the meantime, you can also check with 80/20 Inc. at the same address above as they stock this material.

    Thanks,
