Example of 80/20 T-slotted profiles, 10 and 15 series

T-slot structural framing is a framing system consisting of lengths of square or rectangular extruded aluminum, typically 6105-T5 aluminium alloy. It is also known as 80/20 framing, after the company 80/20, Inc., one of the prominent T-slot framing brands, the name of whom is based on the 80/20 principle. While there is no published standard defining this framing system, manufacturers have settled into two categories of product comprised of several series each that is generally intercompatible.

Profiles

T-slot framing is divided into metric and fractional (imperial) categories. The T-slot is always centered along the long-axis of the piece. Pieces are available in each series with a square cross-section. Rectangular cross sections are available as well which measure x by 2x (where x is the defined width) - e.g. 40mx80mm for 40 series.
