    Hi guys,

    I'm looking to see if anyone knows where I can get some of the above-mentioned material?

    I would be looking for something similar to this:
    2020-t-slot-aluminium-extrusion.jpg

    I would be looking for around 10-12 meters of the stuff in the Waterford area or online.

    The only two places that I found was:

    http://www.aluminium-profile.co.uk/acatalog/Aluminium_Profile.html

    and amazon but both of them are coming from the UK and are charging £20-£30

    Thanks in advance!

    MBS in athlone do something very similar. MBSitem.ie . I've found them very good to deal with. If it's just a length of profile they'll usually have it cut and shipped the same day.

    Don't go for any of the crowds mentioned above. All wah too expensive for what you get.

    I'd go for Motedis in Germany. Pennies per metre and all cut to length.

    2020 T slot is very common and regular for any industrial profiles dealer. I think any local dealer will have this extrusion. You can choose thin wall thickness and light weight for a cheaper price.
