>still not commonly available at every hardware store everywhereUnironically baffles my mind.
My dad made a mailbox post out of this stuff I made my mailbox post by sinking an H beam 6 feet into the ground. We’ll see who’s mailbox survives a drunk driver

>>2790162They’re great we use them a lot for made to order machines. Much much cheaper than making drawings, sending them to the steel cutting welding and powder coating firms and hope everything is within spec.Just make very sure that the cutting guy doesn’t leave the channels full of shavings because you’ll have a bad day in more than one way >>2790191>>2790197They don’t survive a hard forklift hit as well as 5mm steel does, but it’s way easier to replace these than it is to get a replacement custom steel part on site.
>>2790266>connection refusednoice
>>2790167> not sold in hardware storesIt’s common it have strange unavailabilities.Like not selling 1/8 or 1/4" pvc or abs sheet. You know-now that this whole “making things out of plastic” fad has started to catch on.

>>2790261I use this to nigger rig shit all the time it truly is holding society together
>>2790457> unistrutIt’s ridiculously over priced, so it doesn’t matter.The metal studs are much cheaper and work just as well.

>>2790261Akshually!Feel like steel is already at a tray niche. Unless it needs explicit strength, every machine we get is becoming more of an alu block.
>>2790455>holds my shitbox car together
>>2790261Based. Unistrut is for kings, alu profile is for rich retards with more money than sense. If weight is a concern, why are you trying to make something strong to begin with?

>>2790162>holds the world togetherThat's not a picture of love, anon
>>2793140Angle and flat bar is generally more useful than square tubing for building useful shop equipment.That said the alloy is ideal for industry which uses a shitload for light duty work stations. Heavy duty are often custom fabbed from angle, flat bar and some box tubing.
