V Slot Aluminium
V-Slot Linear Rail is the ultimate solution combining both linear motion and a modular, structural framing system. It's lightweight yet rigid and provides an ultra smooth track for precise motion. OpenBuilds created V-Slot Linear Rail and has added a library of compatible modular parts which today is known as the OpenBuilds System. V-Slot® Linear Rail V-Slot Linear Rail is the ultimate solution combining both linear motion and a modular, structural framing system. It's lightweight yet rigid and provides an ultra smooth track for precise.
V-Slot is a high-quality aluminium linear rail profile with an extremely smooth V groove on all 4 sides. It’s precise, easy to work with and allows you unlimited design control through it’s modular nature. Building with V-Slot is much like working with lumber. Send EMAIL for specific length quotation. Additionally, Fusion3 uses aluminum extrusion wheels (can't say if they're V-slot for sure, since I can just see the extrusions themselves, but it's a slot and wheel system of some kind), and their machines cost even more. Again, I've never met a dissatisfied customer from them.

How does it work?
Building with V-Slot is much like working with lumber. You can cut it with a chop saw and the rest is as simple as turning a screwdriver to make the connections.
T Slot Vs V Slot
V-Slot's building characteristics are much like traditional T-Slot but V-Slot then goes on to add new levels of functionality through it's internal v grooves that allow for linear motion. This brings your projects to life!
V-Slot is a new concept in building. Professionals, Hobbyists, and Kit Makers are sure to love it!

T-slot structural framing is a framing system consisting of lengths of square or rectangular extruded aluminum, typically 6105-T5 aluminium alloy, with a T-slot down the centerline of one or more sides. It is also known as 80/20 framing, after the company 80/20, Inc., one of the prominent T-slot framing brands, the name of which is based on the 80/20 principle. While there is no published standard defining this framing system, manufacturers have settled into two categories of product comprising several series each that is generally intercompatible across manufacturers.
Profiles[edit]
2020 V Slot Extruded Aluminum
T-slot framing is divided into metric and fractional (imperial) categories. The T-slot is always centered along the long-axis of the piece. Pieces are available in each series with a square cross-section. Rectangular cross sections are available as well which measure x by 2x (where x is the defined width) - e.g. 40mx80mm for 40 series.
| Profile type | Profile name | Profile size |
|---|---|---|
| fractional | 10 series | 1' |
| 15 series | 1.5' | |
| metric | 20 series | 20 mm |
| 25 series | 25 mm | |
| 30 series | 30 mm | |
| 40 series | 40 mm | |
| 45 series | 45 mm |
