aluminum extrusion

I just send them my order with the prices 15% less and they agree and send me the items. I don't get the discount when I call and order 1 or 2 items. I was never able to get a discount from 8020.

Maybe going to the manufacturer would be cheaper.

i am looking of T slot table extrusions...for a mill table.. i have seen it but never for sale and am wondering where to get it?

I like how T-Slots has their own Solidworks plugin for putting together a project out of extrusion, and creating a price list and ordering sheet.

Check it out: http://www.tslots.com/DESIGNPRO.htm

Of course, I don't have solidworks...

Thanks JavaDog! I just downloaded and installed that plug-in. Sweet. I think my next machine may be made from t-slots.

In response to the T-slots of Item vs. 80/20, the t-nuts are interchangeable between the 2 as long as you are comparing the metric to metric sizes. As far as pricing goes, 80/20 now has a new division called 80/20 Surplus. What they offer is factory second hand material at discounted prices on E-Bay. The product may have scratches or cosmetic blemishes, yet be structurally sound. You can click here www.8020.net (be sure to click on the Garage Sale icon at the bottom of the page) to see what they have available. Listings are added practically daily.
Also, since your posting, 80/20 has a brand new "all in one" catalog which also features their new product line, the HT Series (Holey Tube). You ought to check them out at the same address as above. I think you will be presently surprised.
