Re: Save time? Use aluminum extrusion kits!

We got the Pro kit... Since most of the cost (90%+) is in the extrusion, you could divide the cost by the total number of feet in the kit. The pro kit comes with 60 METERS of extrusion, that comes to about $10 per meter... pretty cheap in the long run!

I'll try to get a sheet from ITEM that specifies the cost per part and post it here.

and how do you account for the cost - include the whole kit price, or is there an easy way to pro-rate only the parts you use?
