    Question FLA rails question

    Does anyone know the hole spacing and diameters for the FLA rails? I asked Nate via email several days ago and he said that the PDF files would be on the site by the end of the day. Hasn't happened yet. Maybe he forgot. I don't want to keep bugging the poor man, so I'm hoping I can get the answers here. I need to start designing the CAD model of my machine.

    I'll be using the 2" x 32", 6" x 29" and 4" x 10" rails.

    Not the carriages, the actual steel rails.

    Also.... all the DXF's and 3d models can be found on the CNCRouterParts
    just right click and save the file extension yo want, I am modeling a router with these and I gotta say that that info has saved me ALOT of work, I cant speak high enough of Ahren and the way he does business, I asked him if I could check out his store in person and he said just stop on by even though he doesnt have an actual storefront, and that was in an email sent on a sunday and replied to 20 min later, you cant beat that and you can bet I will be purchasing from him in the NEAR future, just gotta finish my cnc lathe conversion before I can start on the router table

    oops sorry... you can check out 8020's website and get a DXF of the extrusion
    1530 or 3030 and that should give you the width 1.5" is what I measure in my cad file and dont quote me but it looks as if they are spaced 3" apart (16 sets of holes along a 60" rail)

    It's critical to space the two rows of holes 1.5" apart. The spacing between holes in one row is not critical. On my recently completed router using carriages form CNCRouterparts.com, I spaced the holes 3" apart because they lined up well. I made 3/8" holes to acommodate 5/16" bolts to allow for some adjustment.
