Ever wonder where manufacturers get that multi-slotted, extruded aluminum for making fences, custom saw sleds and stuff like that?
Look no further http://www13.boschrexroth-us.com/Fra...hop/login.aspx
You'll have to set up a profile, but it's well worth it.
I've ordered from them before with no problem.
Enjoy

This is an example of the stuff I'm talking about.
This particular stuff is 1.5" x 3" and it's about $31 for a 36" long piece.  | |

We use that stuff at work for proto-type work and test fixtures. Its real easy to work with, but can add up (for home use) really quickly. | |

I agree, it can add up quickly-especially the larger sizes.
But for a fence here and there, I think it's ideal. I bought a 36" piece of the 1.5" x 1.5" for a fence on a table saw mitre sled. | |

So they will do cusotmer lengths? I missed that the first time. Definitly a book mark for the future. | |

Yes, they do custom lengths. As far as I know, there's also no minimum. | |

So, do you have a piece of that stuff? Does it hold a typical 1/4-20 bolt head? Does it flex or twist? And what are all those choices under "End Finish"? I assume you got the first one, since that's the one that is $31/36". | |

I assume you got the first one, since that's the one that is $31/36". I'll have to get back to you on the bolt head. I haven't built my mitre saw sled yet and I really haven't played with it that much.
No, it's very solid - I challenge anyone to flex it bare handed 
Yes, I got the first option which is basically, just cut to length with no special milling/drilling. | |
