Rail Launcher....

Electrode · Sep 11, 2001

Hi everyone.. just an update.. I just finnished my rail launcher tonight. And I'll be trying it out this weekend.. I can't wait.. I'm kinda in a state of wonder as I have a 8' rail and am thinking of cut'n it off at 6' and then making connectors to add the 2' back on if needed... I don't know for sure.. I will test it this weekend at the full 8' though. The rail turns on both axes.....

Where are the pictures?

We must have pictures. Why didn't you make pictures? We need pictures. We want pictures....

We want a picture not a belly itch... er... wrong sport. Phil can't read so he needs pictures. I'm partial to pictures myself.

Keep me up to date on your progress. I am in the process of switching to a rail myself as my projects have reached a size that would benefit from their use.

Still researching which one to use though...

Oooo, mcmaster. That is a good company. I built a flexy rack one time for my home theater and that was the company I got the hardware from. They have good prices and quality.

The 80/20 rail available from McMaster is indeed a good choice. I have an article explaining how you can make a pad adapter for it:
