    Has anyone done this?

    Weld up a steel ladder frame, bolt strips of acetal to every member, and take it to a friendly wood cnc place and get them to skim it flat. Also drill some locator hole where you will tap and thread later.

    If you had a flat surface, would that be enough to ensure a straight linear rail? ie can the rail be reliably attached to the aluminium profile and be straight, using countersink washers and screws or something like that?
