Simple question, what’s the name of the aluminium section used on this cnc bed.
I have a similar CNC but it’s a solid bed and I want to put this type of section on it to easily clamp my work. The thinner the section I can get the better so I have more Z hight.
I only really want 2 strips of it as I would like to leave the centre of the work for full cut outs. Also while you are here what bolts / blocks etc do I need to go through my bed and hold down the bars on top of it? Oh and if you know a good UK supplier that would be handy :)
Thanks as always.

Its basic alu extrusion.
Try this one:MiniTec T-Slotted Aluminum Extrusions. Modular Aluminum Profiles For Custom Construction From Aluminum Extrusions. Custom Clean Rooms, Ergonomic Workstations, Belt Conveyors, and Machine Guards Are But A Few Applications.
Havent dealt with them before and dont have any idea of price but from lloking at it somewhere else in the past in aint cheap.
