These plates have three T-slots for use with T-slot nuts, bolts, and setup studs. There is a slot along each side of the plate for mounting with clamps. Aluminum plates are lightweight and have mild corrosion. High-Speed Steel T-Slot End Mills Use these end mills for general purpose work in most material, such as aluminum, brass, bronze, iron, and steel. They're often used to create slots in machine tool tables, indexing tables, and other workholding surfaces. Lathe Chuck Jaw Nuts.

T-slot structural framing is a framing system consisting of lengths of square or rectangular extruded aluminum, typically 6105-T5 aluminium alloy, with a T-slot down the centerline of one or more sides. It is also known as 80/20 framing, after the company 80/20, Inc., one of the prominent T-slot framing brands, the name of which is based on the 80/20 principle. While there is no published standard defining this framing system, manufacturers have settled into two categories of product comprising several series each that is generally intercompatible across manufacturers.

Profiles[edit]

T-slot framing is divided into metric and fractional (imperial) categories. The T-slot is always centered along the long-axis of the piece. Pieces are available in each series with a square cross-section. Rectangular cross sections are available as well which measure x by 2x (where x is the defined width) - e.g. 40mx80mm for 40 series.

Although it may seem complicated, the concept behind t-slot aluminum is very simple. The end of each piece of aluminum is shaped like a “T”. What this does is allow you to combine other pieces of aluminum without any welding. T-slot aluminum is modular – i.e., it’s easily changeable. You can move and connect the aluminum profiles however you’d like, with added accessories like angle connectors. Ultimately, you can create anything from workstations, to conveyors, to tradeshow booths, to furniture.

Why T-Slot Aluminum is Your Best Bet

T Slots Aluminum

Two of the most important things a manufacturing engineer needs: flexibility and versatility.

With t-slot aluminum, you get that. No need to weld. No need to clamp. A t-slot aluminum project is all simple attachment work. Need additional length? Need shorter length? No problem. T-Slot aluminum is much easier to work with in comparison to welded steel.

But wait, it gets better. T-slot aluminum is also corrosion resistant. It will not rust. And it’s strong, too. Need to build something that will last in the winter weather? T-slot aluminum actually gets stronger with lower temperatures.

Did we mention t-slot aluminum extrusions are also cheaper than welding steel? Sure, steel is typically cheaper – there’s no denying that. But you have to weld it and paint it. And that costs time and money.

What T-Slot Aluminum Is Best for You?

We break our aluminum profiles up into three separate designations – light duty, medium duty, and heavy duty.

If you’re creating something like a pet cage, sign frame, partition screen, etc. – light duty t-slot aluminum is your best bet.

If you’re creating machine base legs, machine guarding, enclosures, etc. -- medium duty or heavy duty t-slot aluminum is your best bet. If you’re creating strong rigid frames, heavy duty t-slot aluminum is your best bet.
