    What 8020 material is used?

    Hey guys, I have a TM 4x4 small shop machine and have been thinking of adding onto the table to accomodate full size sheets in position. Does anybody know what style or model the 8020 extrusions are? I figure I will add an additional 5 feet to the approach of the machine to allow a full size sheet to rest entirely in the slats up to the torch head. I think it will eliminate or reduce bowing in the sheet enough to make it a worthwhile addition. I am also thinking that I can add the track for the linear drive and make the additional length available for cutting. Just some thoughts for now, Thanks!!!!!!!

    We do sell an upgrade kit for the 4x4 to go to a 4x8 machine, including all the necessary hardware, cabling, and extrusion. You should call in and get a quoute to see if you've thought through all the costs

    Thanks Mike!! Sent ya PM, but most intersted in an "approach" table that will allow a stable surface for a full sheet. May be more cost effective to go upgrade way, look forward to email. Thanks
