My copy of the 80/20 price list is from last March so prices may have changed a tad, but these numbers should be pretty close.
I didn't even think that it would be produced by the same folks that market the T-slot extrusion. Thanks.

Has anyone used these connectors with more conventional 1x1x.0625" tubing? I'd rather not need special tubing when I've got a local supplier for metal stock and a few dozen feet sitting in the workshop already.
