      Can someone share the list of tools required to assemble T-slot structures for domestic use? I have a basic tool box but I do not think that would suffice.

        Hi Sage. For basic t-slot assembly in your home or workshop, a common set of either metric and fractional ball end hex wrenches or what I prefer, are the “T” handle hex wrenches. This will help with the assembly and is mostly what you need if you are ordering your tslot framework pre-drilled/machined. If not, there are jigs and drill bits you can purchase to do the machining yourself.

          Recommend ordering them pre-drilled as I find it quite a hassle otherwise. And then a simple hex wrench with a T handle should suffice.

            Usually get a 1/4″ T-handle allen wrench and a 3/16″ one

              Using the appropriate T handle Allen wrench is enough to assemble any domestic T slot framing structure that is pre-drilled by the manufacturer.

                T-slot is designed to be convenient, especially in the pre drilled version you would only need Allen wrench set to install it.

                  I usually order non drilled version and I use my electric driller to screw the assembly together. I feel it more durable and sturdy.

                    Hex wrench set would be enough, since they already check your structure assembly before shipping. It would be easy for you to assemble at home.

                      Grip pliers and Allen key set would be helpful in your DIY projects

                        Not to worry about the tool sets. While doing custom order, you can also select the size of connectors to match the pairs of wrench you have.

                          A great Allen key set can go a long way.

                            T-Slot is great for a DIY enthusiast. It only requires basic tools like Allen wrenches and ratchets.
