Jig Fixture Aluminum Extrusions for BT3X00 - Revival

[jenielsen]

Hello all!
Just a note, that I still have these aluminum extrusions.
See this post - Aluminum Extrusions for BT3X00 Saws - The SawdustZone
I keep tripping over them so I'd LOVE to send them to someone who can use them.
I would HATE to throw them away and then hear that someone wants one...

Does any "active" BT3X00 member that still have a saw want all of the extrusions?
Just pay me postage to send them to you...

About how much does it weigh? Estimated shipping cost? (TX)

[jenielsen]

Awesome! Glad that these will go to a good home.
Being aluminum, they don't weigh that much. I checked and it is like 6 pounds + shipping materials/box
If you don't mind me cutting them down from their current lengths, the cheapest shipping cost would be if I cut them down to <12" and shipped them.
If you are good with that, I will check on the shipping pricing for you when I get to work on Monday!

[LCHIEN]

Cutting then down would be OK, 24" too long, I would say 4 or 6 inches would be the ideal length. We can discuss further if the shipping cost is reasonable.

[leehljp]

I agree with Loring, 4 to 6 inches would be ideal.

[jenielsen]

Hello Loring,
Sorry I took me a couple extra days.
Shipment via UPS at 7lbs is $24.35

[leehljp]

USPS has those three flat rate box sizes that could handle several 4 to 5 inches in the smallest.
Type Size* Retail Rate
Small Box 8 11⁄16" x 5 7⁄16" x 1 ¾" $10.65
Medium Box 11 ¼" x 8 ¾" x 6" or 14" x 12" x 3 ½" $19.15

2 or 3 - 12" ones would fit in a flat rate envelope (I think), if they were taped together and bubble wrapped.

[jenielsen]

Ok... Thanks for the thoughts.
I have cut them down shy of 9" to fit in an Amazon box that I had laying around.
That's the cost via the UPS website to ship it in that box.

[jenielsen]

Whelp... it doesn't appear LCHIEN is interested in them for the $24.35 it would take me to ship them UPS to him, so if anyone else is interested, please let me know.
I will charge you what the UPS website notes (which may be a bit more or less than the $24.35 to Katy,TX dependent upon your location).
I prefer to ship UPS as that is what is easiest for me.

Still interested Don't know that I need the whole lot.
Anyone want to go halvesies with me?

[d_meister]

I'll take some, at least two sections, more if you just want to clean up the surplus.

I'm interested, I will PM you.

[LCHIEN]

IF we (woodTurner and I) each take half, what is the shipping?

That sounds good to me.

LCHIEN I will PM you

[LCHIEN]

Oh, i see dmeister wanted some too. That's OK with me. Split three ways

[LCHIEN]

JeNielson,
Dmeister, woodturner, lchien
There are three of us (Dmeister, woodturner, lchien) who have expressed interest.
If I under stand there were originally 3 pieces of 24 plus a 10 and 14" pieces.
If you cut them down to something less than 9 inches as you said, there are maybe 11 pieces left just under 9 inches.
Woodturner has offered to take them all from Jenielson in one shipment and redistribute.
I suggest 4 pieces each for me and Woodturner, and 3 pieces for Dmeister (because he as last to speak up and asked for a 2 pieces.)
Does that sound OK?

[jenielsen]

Woodturner agreed to take them all and is sending me a shipping label for them all.
As noted in post #6 above, I have cut them down to fit in the box I noted.
IIRC, there are 6 pieces total @ ~8".
As they are aluminum, they can easily be cut down further with your miter or table saw.
I will let you guys figure out how you distribute and sizes.
Just glad that you guys are going to be able to make some use out of these on your BT3X00's going forward.
