I ordered some linear "v-groove" rails for the hotwire foam cutter I'm building but they won't fit my 80/20 extrusions.
So, I'm considering making my own out of cold-rolled steel flat bar by grinding a 90° point along the edge of each rail. Since the travel of my x axis will need to be 10.5', would it be feasible to butt join two rails to get the length? If I place a spacer at the joint to make sure they are flush it should work, no?
Thanks
