Hi all, I have a 3020 chinese cnc. My aluminum t-slot has gotten a bit damaged over time and I'm curious where I can find the same aluminum t slot I have on it now. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again! You all are great!

Try Mc master carr
or MSC for mail order
Try Misumi or Automation4Less. Both are real easy to deal with.
And then there is always 8020inc on ebay. I've bought many things from them. Good prices, but brace yourself for the shipping cost.

If you contact bosch rexroth, or 8020 t-slot from their website they will direct you to a local supplier.
I use Faztek extrusion, via Amazon. It ships free with Amazon Prime.

Hi guys,
I am preparing my first CNC on the drawing board, love to read this forum while doing so. I am very interested and thankful about the links you guys posted here. I was wondering if you knew were to find metric aluminium extrusion files for Sketchup. Parker IPS have a few files, very helpful, but they are missing pieces and everything is in imperial units, which is kind of an problem for me.
Thank you for your help
Cheers
Hiroshiman,
Try www.8020.net - they have downloads of all there aluminum extrusions material. I believe you can create the size in metric then download.
Thanks,
Dave
Or here. Buy direct from them. Pretty much any size you want.

It looks like 8020.net updated their website. Last time I tried to order directly from them they referred me to the nearest engineering affiliate to order through. I just put together an order and progressed through the the shipping phase of checkout and it was pretty user friendly.

In our opinion, 80/20 offers the highest quality t-slot extrusions available with superior anodizing/color - and very tight tolerances, so you won't be disappointed when you measure your new machine for mechanical slop after its all built.
It's unlikely the OP's Chinese machine used 8020 extrusions. :stickpoke
