Re: Most Commonly Used Aluminum Extrusion Profiles

We use a lot of 1x1 Angle in both 1/16 and 1/8 depending on the application

We also used last year some 3x5 box for a gearbox, 1/8th thick. We also use 1in flat and 4in flat for a lot of applications,We use 1x1 1/8th thickness for drive bases and structure, along side 1x2. We don't use tubing that much, but we did use it for supports this year
