What size are you using?
I have 2x2, 1.5x1.5 and 1x2 and other pieces. I also have these Teflon type
bearing slides that came with it. I am thinking of using that as an
adjustable height table to router different thickness of material. Or
possibly to make a large panel cutoff saw like at Home Depot. This stuff
makes your brain work in overload need more ideas don't want to waste what I
have. Its like they say a giant erector set for us grown ups.
I really like your table! I am going to use it like you did also to make a
table. How much does this stuff normally cost? I might need more.

I've made quite a bit with it already.... Not much for photos though. The
stuff
is great. When all bolted up it gives a real feeling of rigidity, but maybe
with
a bit of "bounce".

I of course have used it on my CNC Router but, only as the framework for
holding
the machine up. I came to the conclusion that the more "Mass" the better !

A friend of mine is building a CNC machine out of extrusions. Without the
THK
rails attached it has quite a "Ringy" feeling. It should work fine though
for
his application.

I would love to make a Hardwood floor CNC Inlay Router out of extrusion.
Carry
the pieces in a customers house, Suck it to the floor with suction cups and
my
trusty vacuum pump, then rout away!

Its always been that "one little mistake" issue that kinda makes the whole
idea
fly out the window. I don't think it is inexpensive to have a floor replaced
these days !
