Slotted Enclosure Posts/Rails

**wingsnaprop** · 03-08-2010, 14:02

Long time ago, I bought an enclosure made from 4 Corner posts, These Posts were Bout 3/8 " thick and Threaded on Both ends and Slotted at 90 degrees angles to accept a Aluminum sheet/wall .. to make up an enclosure

Well that's as good as I can explain it .. anyone Know what I'm talkin about?

or better yet, a source for these ?

Your welcome. FAZTEK actually makes the stuff, for a bunch of other vendors.

They also cut to +/- .004 inch, much better then the majority of other vendors..

I use them too. In use them in the corners. Where i buy it it the call it 30x30R. I also use 20x20 to carry the baseplate. Brilliant stuf. The guy that invented this should have an award

Incidently, most plastics shops stock .220 plastic and call it 1/4" inch. It goes in the slots nicely...
