Great help for beginners from these videos. Thanks for posting.

I go with Framingtech for my requirements. I also use 80/20 as they have the largest selection, but you may have to wait because they have longer lead times.

A pro tip, also show your kids how you assemble t-slot to encourage them to do their own DIY projects. They might develop their own passion in designing and creating new things.

With t-slot mounts you save lot of space compared to traditional mounts. This makes it possible to use more solar panels in the same area. Thereby, increasing the overall surface area.

Its a good idea. You could design it with space adjustable holders or hooks for hanging up big pans and kitchen equipment.

With a t-slot poster stand, it could be set up at events and trade shows without any extra support. Even though lightweight it is a self-contained sturdy structure.

I designed my own umbrella and coat rack for my hallway. It looks stylish and modern.

T-slot, in my experience, has been easy to maintain. It doesn’t accumulate heavy dust, and anything that does get on it canbe wiped clean. If a section gets damaged, it has been relatively easy to order a new part and reinstall it.

Clean rooms are usually permanent fixtures that are used in a factory where they need maximum cleanliness and a dust-free zone. They are strategically placed where the least amount of contamination exists and are constructed to be air-tight to minimize pollutants entering into the enclosure.

Working on my robotics project, designing a mini remote control rover.

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.

I take about 8 – 10 weeks, sometimes more depending on the complexity of the assembly. Once I receive my materials, then it is roughly less than a week’s time to complete it.

There are many websites that offer free guide and resources on T slots.
http://www.framingtech.com, http://www.Comoso,.com, http://www.tslots.com etc are a few.

Easy assemble with no special expensive tools, and overall structure is strong and looks good.

I just send my design with size specifications and I get everything with a quote back to me from the manufacturer and that includes all minor details of profiles, fasteners, accessories etc.

These are available on amazon too. Easy to order and has worked well for me.

Order a sample kit from the manufacturer and try it out before starting a project of your own.

I prefer the powder coated for its aesthetic appeal.
