In countries where Misumi has an office, they not only sell most T-slot extrusions at a reasonable price but they will even cut it to your exact dimensions for free. Their USA operation even ran a special campaign a few months ago where RepRap users got a free $150 credit on their first order.....

Definitely Misumi if you are in the US or Canada, but I might be biased... 
These might do the trick.

You can also try McMaster-Carr as well. Misumi is a little cheaper, and we'll cut it to length for you, plus you can get cool surface finishes too. McMaster will probably get it to you faster, though, and their prices are also good.
Up to you, but these are just a couple of other options.

Their US web page said the same thing, but they created the accounts for everyone anyway as long as you paid by credit card...and even gave us a free $150 of "house money" to start playing with during the First150 promotion.
If the European office will not do the same, I wonder if Carey and crew can enter/process orders through the US office and ship them out of Europe?????

To order from Misumi in Europe, you just need a business address. You do not need to be registered for VAT.
As mentioned previously, they will not supply to individuals (I am in the UK and think their offices are based in Germany). One way round this is to order through work if you have a friendly employer. If all else fails, set up your own limited company. Cost me about 12 GBP.
I made enquiries initially about ordering from the States but was told by Mitsumi that they would simply redirect any enquiries to their European office.
I might add they make good stuff.

The UK/European site is very bad and they don't have any configuration manager that works when it comes to ordering 20x20. Also, they are ridiculously overpriced compared to the US Misumi.
I'm going for OpenBeam, but only because my construction can have it.

I buy mine from China.
Even factoring the shipping, etc., it's still cheaper than in Europe and definitely cheaper than anything from Misumi.
And the quality is really good - very heavy and strong, much more than I thought it was going to be.
I paid US$3.50 each for a 1000mm piece.
Yes please can you give us a link ?

3,43€ for 1 meter - doesn`t get much cheaper then this and they have good quality plus really good quality of the cutting!
They ship all over europe.
Where you from?
ordered 30 or so individually measured pieces - each is true to the millimeter!
and now everything fits together very nicely

Thanks for the heads up Alexander!
I've been struggling to find a supplier at a reasonable cost here in Ireland, but just ordered from Motedis after seeing your link.
The cheapest I could find locally was €9 per meter and are only available in 3M sections which I'd then have to cut myself...I got 3 x 1M and 9 x 360mm for €40 including shipping!
Thanks again

Is there a good source for extrusion located in Canada ?
I'm thinking about getting them from Misumi, but shipping to Canada isn't the cheapest.
For anyone interested, I found some local place who could make the Wilson TS extrusion for ~45-50$ CAD.
if you only need the extrusion it's a good idea to look arround localy.
Since I needed the linear shaft, I ended up getting both the extrusion and shaft from Misumi for ~105 USD with shipping to canada.
Misumi charged ~$27 USD + $8 USD duty to ship to Canada.

I have just received my order from Motedis All cut to length perfectly and far cheaper than RS.
I am based in the UK and it took about 10 days to arrive.

I get my 8020 (typically 1.5" x 1.5") from my local industrial scrapper for $2 per lb.
Find your local scrappers and get to know them. If you live near a medium to large population city, there's probably a place where you can get this sort of thing very cheaply. They often have other linear motion parts you can take off machines for pennies on the dollar.

It does not have to be a large city. We have an industrial surplus shop nearby (here in the sticks) that buys old factory automation stuff from IBM's chip fabs and other businesses. Power supplies, linear motion hardware, pneumatics, temperature controllers, extrusions, cables, fastener, and anything else that you can imagine. The problem is that most of the surplus extrusions are too banged up to use as roller tracks, and 8020's non-metric dimensions make it more painful than it should be to use that stuff with existing printer designs/kits.....

That's good to hear. I recently ordered 3 x 1m 2020 extrusions from them. Cost was £2.39 each + £13.35 shipping + VAT. So the shipping cost more than the extrusions. I ordered some of their T nuts too, they appear to have a spring-loaded ball so that they stay put after you slide them to the required position.

Just done a comparison with the prices I was paying at RS:
T-Nuts
RS - £4.96 / 10 £0.496 each
Motedis - £16.02 / 100 £0.16 each
Corner brackets
RS - £2.71 / 1 £2.71 each
Motedis - £6.20 / 1 £0.62 each
Even with postage it's quite a saving.
