We always use 1/8 wall tube for the drive part of our frames.

You would have to ask someone who uses Quickframe about how it might work.

So, we know that 1/16 wall quickframe is pretty close to 1/2 the weight of the T10 extrusion, but what about 1/8 wall tube?

From what I understand Quickframe weighs very similar to a standard square tube so 1/8" wall tube likely weighs about twice what 1/16" wall Quickframe does.

1010 is .5097lb per foot, 1/8 wall is .5132lb per foot, 1/16 is 0.2729, Quickframe should be similar.

We only use 1/8 wall for the drive portion of our frame. These parts are subject to maximum abuse and are difficult to repair. They also seem to get the most holes drilled into them to attach other things so the extra thickness of the wall is an advantage.
