T-slot Aluminum Section-TP-6210 (length 1280mm)
T-slot aluminium extrusion, TP-6210 profile, 180mm wide x 18mm high, 1280mm length, 4.25 kg/m.
Overview
The TP-6210 is a T-slot aluminium extrusion, sold here in a 1280mm length, for building a machine frame, gantry or enclosure panel around T-slots rather than welding or drilling a fixed structure.
The cross-section is 180mm wide by 18mm high, with a 6.25mm wall thickness, in alloy 63400, weighing 4.25 kg per metre - a 1280mm length weighs a little over 5.4 kg. Manufacturing tolerances are stated as 0.5mm/metre twist, 0.8mm flatness and 2 degrees angularity, which matter for keeping a machine frame square and flat when several lengths are bolted together into a gantry or base.
At 18mm high, this is the lower-profile of the two T-slot sections in this catalogue - the TP-6212 shares the same 180mm width and wall thickness but stands 22.5mm high, for a stiffer section where the frame needs more resistance to bending under load.
For the same profile in a longer stock length, the TP-6210 (2500) covers 2500mm instead of cutting two shorter lengths from stock.

Questions
I'm bolting several of these into a gantry — how flat and straight is the extrusion, actually?
Manufacturing tolerances are stated as 0.5mm/metre twist, 0.8mm flatness and 2 degrees angularity — that's what keeps a frame square and flat when several lengths are bolted together.
How much does this specific 1280mm piece actually weigh?
A little over 5.4 kg, worked out from the 4.25 kg/metre figure at this length.
What's the actual difference between this and the TP-6212 profile?
Height. This one stands 18mm high; the TP-6212 shares the same 180mm width and wall thickness but stands 22.5mm high, for a stiffer section with more resistance to bending under load.
I need a longer piece than 1280mm in this same profile — is that available?
Yes — the TP-6210 (2500) covers 2500mm instead, so you're not cutting two shorter lengths from stock.
