    It can definitely get expensive. I know when you register with Parco-inc, you usually get a 10% off coupon for their online store. I’m not sure now, but its worth a shot.

    I have basic XY assembly drill. Was using the assembly without cleaning the chips and they accumulated in the extrusion cavity. With the build-up in the channel, the movement became rough. But no, I have never had it break or bend on me.

    When Solar panels are placed in the ground with Steel or iron mounts , their support tends to detiorate due to moisture and water. As the support rusts they would need periodic replacements. Which won’t be needed incase of Aluminium Mounts.

    Kids are mostly spending time indoors studying. I think it would be more cool if you made a goal post or basketball net in outdoor instead of the activity board.

    The Welded Structures strength depends mainly on the skill of the welder. If the welder is unskilled, it would result in weak structure. It would be hard to maintain even structure strength by using welded steel.
