Working with structural extrusion

Hi All



Am a Quoting and Design engineer for a large distributor for 80/20 it is great stuff to say the least. 80/20 still does kitting and it is the way to go it saves a load on shipping and for less than $2 a cut for a square cut you can’t beat it but if you insist on cutting it your self buy a Fraud TK076 blade and a miter saw that is the same blade 80/20 uses miter saws do run about 1000 rpm to fast so don’t push the cut use some type of lube but the most important thing is support the extrusion as you cut it and you will be ok. We also offer design assistance you can call us and talk about your needs and we design your frame for free. You would be surprised on the number of calls I get on CNC equptment each week there is a whole subculture in the CNC world

I just yesterday cut 1.5 by 1.5 80/20 with a miter box and nonphorous blade from menards and it went very well. Better than I expected. Bolted the frame together with some home made gussets and was perfectly square when I set my framing square to it.
80/20 is the way to go!
