I'm thinking I'd like to build a shelf. Maybe some other bracketry for my workshop. How would you recommend attaching the V-SLot to the wall? L bracket underneath? Maybe screw/lag bolts through a hole drilled in the V-Slot. Of course it may depend on weight. I'd love to see a few examples so I can work up a few ideas for my workshop and lab space. Thank you.
I think it looks cool. I've got an idea to 3D printer some different attachments. One application I have was to possibly use V-Slot like one would use Unistrut. I've got some home piping and mechanical items that I need to support on the wall and again, I was thinking if V-Slot would be a candidate.
I'd go Unistrut over V-Slot for mechanical mounting any day. Not that I think V-Slot couldn't take it (within reason), I just don't think it's worth taking the risk.
You've pretty much answered your own questions. Yes, it all comes down to weight and appearance. For shop use I wouldn't hesitate to drill through the extrusion and run a bolt into the wall. With a properly matched washer it'll look like it belongs. For interior use blind screws would be more appropriate. But this will be strictly limited to lighter loads. One element you might look at would be Adjustable V-Slot Hinge - OpenBuilds Part Store for creating shelf brackets.
Thank you all for the replies. Sometimes it just helps to state an idea to a group to get feedback. I'll likely do Unistrut where appropriate. and V-Slot in other spots.
