Looking for aluminum extrusions

[Alan Turner]

I need to build a ton of shop jigs for the new Studio, and will plan to use T-Track aluminum extrusions for many of them. I would like to use some flip down stops as well. Early uses would be a drill press table, set of stops

Do any of you have any quality/price preferences for these items? I have tried to search the archives, but didn't use the right search terms, I guess.

Alan. Pm me and I'll give you a link to Ebay seller that sells lots of it.

alan, run don`t walk away from extrusions targeted at woodworkers! look to other industries, the commercial window shops are a good place to start. if you don`t find what you`re looking for try the local steel supply house, most carry extrusions or can order them in 20+ft lengths in any number of profiles......where do you think the catalogues are getting theirs from? ...........02 tod

Alan,

For your heavier applications (weight and durability) don't forget about Unistrut and B-line steel channels. Both have channel lines in smaller sizes.
