FAQ

Q: Are Shine Ground extrusions 100% compatible with 80/20 hardware?

Yes. Our profile slots, pitch dimensions, and centerlines strictly follow standardized metric and fractional T-slot geometries. You can use your existing 80/20 T-nuts, brackets, and fasteners without modification.

Q: What aluminum alloy and surface treatments do you supply?

We manufacture using high-tensile 6063-T5 and 6063-T6 aluminum alloy (yield strength $>25\text{k PSI}$). Standard surface finishes include clear anodizing and black anodizing. Custom RAL powder coating is available upon request.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

For standard stock profiles and accessories, there is no strict MOQ. We support prototype sampling, full 6-meter mill-length shipments, and pre-cut assembly kits.
