T Slot Tubing

Introducing MicroRAX

Hands down the best – I buy tons of T slot extrusions and it is absolutely absurd what every other company charges for this stuff – Like, it actually makes me sick thinking about it. I go through tons of T slot extrusions and fasteners every week and I’m so glad I recently found these guys. 80/20 provides T-slot aluminum profiles, or bars, that have channels used to connect other bars and parts — for instance, panels, linear bearings or casters. It is a building system anyone can use to create custom solutions. 80/20 UNIVERSITY One of the many benefits you'll find with 80/20 profiles and parts is its versatility. A T-slot aluminum extrusion is an extrusion commonly in the shape of a square, rectangle, or curved radius that is made with a long slot in the shape of a “T”. The t-slot extrusions are modular, and extending them through accessories that fit into the t-slot they can easily be used for numerous applications.

MicroRAX works like larger structural framing with unique dovetail slots running down the length. Joining plates engage nuts that fit into the slots allowing for placement along the length of the profile. You can make just about any configuration imaginable. Made from high-strength precision extruded aluminum (6063-T6), MicroRAX is much stronger than plastic building systems or thin punched sheet metal.

MicroRAX fills the gap between large, heavy steel or aluminum structural systems and toy building systems. Professionals can make smaller structures with the integrity they are familiar with. While advanced hobbyists can build more permanent projects that will stay together.
