I might be blind Jazz but they don't seem to sell the heavy duty version, prices are very good. I recovered the aluminium extrusion from a magazine printer and KJN charged me 75p a cut and £1 a hole so at least for me was lucky to have KJN on my door step. I had 3.6m lengths to deal with lol it was all the heavy duty profile.
I watched them cut mine so maybe them spent more time on it lol because it was spot on, I'm sure they have a DRO on the saw but was couple of years ago and they have multiple saws so maybe not all have the DRO.
The drilling is a cnc drilled so shouldn't be any issue there.
If that other firm sell heavy duty version I certainly use them next time if I don't buy another magazine printer to scrap.http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/10880...60cm-work-area My first CNC build WIP 120cm*80cm
If you didn't buy it from China the company you bought it from did ;)

That source is a bust.
They will only sell 6m lengths. They will cut it but you still have to buy the whole length!
$2530 ex gst plus shipping.......Splitters!
back to plan; 'next'

That is insane.
Whats to stop you getting a mate in the UK to buy and ship out to you?
1m of 90x45 is £25 + VAT = £30
Shipping of 5kg 1m x 10cm x 5cm box to generic "aussie location" major port = £38
That price applies up until 185cm - anything more they don't like, but thats a decent gantry span. Posting directly to Australind or Packenham is £39, 1-3 day service apparently.
Lets double the cost to account for me being an idiot and not accounting for import duties... Say £135 per metre door to door.
Thats way better than your quote of £1400 for 6m ~ £233/m not including shipping.Last edited by AndyUK; 26-02-2020 at 01:39 PM.

It seems to the norm in Australia.
We get gouged all the time.

I'm with Kit on that one - I'm sure that alu profile is quicker and easier to use but if you can't find it at a sensible price then steel is good. I'm a (very) novice welder but my steel gantry works fine. If circumstances force you down that route, that fine - you can still build a decent machine. Just remember the home-builder's mantra - if you can't build accurate, build adjustable!

You were Lucky! (apologies to Monty Python....)
I can't even find anyone to sell me less than 6 metres!....lol
Can you remember who that was?
Yes, steel maybe a cheaper option.....
Will probably explore buying from UK, or failing that *shudder* china......
Early days.....Have to get the shed up first!
