Large Steel Channels

[LazyMan]

Hi,

Does anybody know where to find 6 inch steel channels with a profile like this? I cant find any online metal stores that supply this.

That material is called "ship chanel". I am not sure if it can be found online. Some of my suppliers stock it and some don't. Check a couple of local steel suppliers if that's possible.

Hi

I am building a gantry router with similar channels (150 and 200mm). It was relatively cheap for the size of the beams but be warned that the parallel faces are not very parallel and you will need to machine or expoxy them to get a flat surface.
