      Noob question, but how do T-slots form different companies or brands differ usually, or are they all the same?

        Most companies are compatible when it comes to their profiles and hardware. I think the main difference between the companies is the alloy makeup of the aluminum.

          Some companies provide mono slot, bi slot, smooth, etc profiles, just depends on the company. Everybody seems to be interchangeable. Parco is like 100% compatible with companies like 80/20 and others.

            T-Slot Companies provide different line ups, they have their own catalogues. T-Slots by Bonnie Aluminum has aluminum extrusions available in different colors. You can choose between fractional size or metric size depending upon your choice.

              When you have a clear specification almost all companies can fulfill your requirements. They are mostly interchangeable. Find a company that provides good customer support. It would be much helpful.

                Companies such as Parco and 8020 provide exclusive products. But the rest of the T-slot parts are interchangeable and universally compatible. But well known companies provide high quality parts which are more reliable.

                  The Quality of Aluminum used plays a major role. Some underated companies try to bring cost down by bringing down the quality. It affects the T-Slots durability and Performance.

                    I usually do my personal projects. So I don’t really know the difference between T-Slots produced by different companies.

                      Some companies limit their products, as they don’t have facilities to provide aluminum extrusions of all sizes, do check with the companies site to make sure they have the right profile and right sizes before you order.
