    I have some really good, imperial (inch) based t-slot that I want to use for a router build. I would like to use open rail and a set of pre made plates but all I can find are sets made for metric stock and then only in v-slot. Anybody know of a design or plate set that will work?
    Thanks

    I would suggest using V-Slot with wheels mounted to it as a gantry cart. You can do this with wheel kits and slot washers. Another suggestion is that you may need to break out the drill press and mock up some plate sets. Be sure to download some of the examples in the actuators part files.
    Some ideas that may help
