    I wish I had a couple pieces on hand, but alas, not yet.

    Can C-Beam fit into it's own channel?

    See attached jpg.

    Do you mean "can a 4020 fit into a c beam"? If so, yes, it should but could depend on who the manufacturer is.

    I meant C-Beam, I just did the screen shot from the back side of the other C-Beam.

    Theoretically yes. In practice it may take a bit of sanding or a tap with a mallet. It all comes down to the tolerances in the extrusion.

    I can work with sanding, especially if it's just a bit.

    I can verify that the Cbeams purchased from OpenBuilds that are in my shop do indeed fit beautifully.
