Rail guide from McMaster-Carr

So I'm trying to get a rail guide, we use 1010 buttons. Which rail matches those? There are several listed, and I'm guessing the 1" size, but just wanted to make sure.

Yes the 1" rail works with the 1010 buttons. If you think that you might need the 1515 size buttons at some point, you can use 1010 with the 1.5" rail. Just not the other way around.

The 1" Aluminum T-Slot Framing, #47065T101 is 1010 rail. The 1 1/2" is the 1515 rail. I'm not sure, but I believe the shipping costs jump a lot when you get over 8' long. You might want to email and check.

Have you checked https://8020.net/ or https://www.tslots.com/ for information and pricing?

Best place I have found to get all the sizes of railbuttons is from Randy at railbuttons.com, he is however closed this month due to surgery.

Thanks Handeman, those prices are considerably better!
rharshberger, I have a million railbuttons, all from Randy. Good place to get em, plus more rocket goodies, much cheaper than most places. I'm actually looking for the rail itself though....

Amazon is cheapest we have found for our clubs rails. Unless there is a reseller locally, of which the nearest for my club is Kent, WA iirc.

You can order from Grainger and have them ship free to the store closest to you, if there is one, of course.

Same goes for Fastenal. Not as many branches though.

I was going to post the same thing. Otherwise, shipping can often cost more than the rail itself!
