T Slot C Beam
The C shaped profile is based on the V-Slot linear guide system. This profile gives added strength and functionality. It is considered to be a 40mm x 80mm profile and all our standard V-Slot parts and accessories are compatible. Available in 250mm, 500mm, 1000mm, 15000mm, and 3000mm lengths.
Finally got a better handle on the feeds and speeds while making these hold-down clamps I designed in Fusion 360. There's no question that adaptive milling is much easier on the cutter and the. C-Beam Linear Rail is the ultimate solution combining both linear motion and a modular, structural framing system. It's lightweight yet rigid and provides an ultra smooth track for precise motion. OpenBuilds created C-Beam Linear Rail and has added a library of compatible modular Parts which today is known as the OpenBuilds System.
