Bill, If memory serves me right the tekno slot will take a 3/4 wide 1/4 thick piece of bar stock which we used to drill out to either 1/4-20 or 5/16-18 for standard bolts. I do believe that when you download the modutek catalogue is shows the bolt head also sliding in the slot. I have been moving 8 or so 10 foot pieces of the one slot stuff for years and plan on making the panel saw from some plans I have and also looking into longer acme screw material for a longer machine that is about 2 feet longer than the 900 I use now. I have been looking into making a rail extension that will just bolt up. I am looking at moving the carriage onto rollers and making an arm tht bolts to the lead screw bracket that would continue the drive for a longer distance down the rail. Nothing further in planning than the drawing board at this time.
As a note I am working on a few custom candle holders that are about 4 feet high with a hollow spiral in them made from some 4" stock I came into. Pics to follow soon if I can get them finished before the new year.
thank you Carl when you say similar did they have anything with the wide groove in it the same that is in the legacy rails that's the hard one to find the wide groove

If one is looking for extruded aluminum to make rails go to http://www.tekno.com/html/downloads_.html. I used to work at a conveyor company and we used very similiar extrusion. As far as the nuts and bolts you can get those a lot cheaper from a local supplier like Fastenal. the plans from one of the mags for a panel saw used this stuff.
