    Default PRS X Axis extrusion

    So I know this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find the right answer for my Shopbot.

    I am looking for the extrusion that is used for the X axis on a PRS. I have a standard that I upgraded to an Alpha.

    From what I have seen it is supposed to be the Bosch Rexroth 40x160mm.

    BUT .... the extrusions on my bot measure exactly 6" x 1.5" (or 38mm x 152mm). I have looked around and can't find Bosch or 8020 with those dimensions....

    If anyone can tell me what product this is, I would be most grateful.

    ShopBot may tell you if you call them. The table sides are not Bosch.

    Anthony...
    Many(some) of the extrusions used on a ShopBot are custom made for them. They could be similar in appearance to branded ones, but made to SB sizes and thickness'

    T-Slots, Faztek and 80/20 all have a "15" series which is based on 1 1/2" dimensions. But the largest I see is 1-1/2 x 4-1/2. You can always go larger. They have a 3 x 6.
