Thank you. I bought all my materials from Amazon (saved a lot of money) I have averaged a little over 100.00 material costs per chassis. The isolated transformer front end [on chassis pairs 2-3] added about 30% to the cost.

The "savings" was indirectly applied to the band saw purchase, which I used to cut all extrusion and aluminum stock. The band saw paid for itself already.

I agree, with the pricing from 8020 direct, I was figuring over 350 per chassis, for cut extrusion, frame mounts, all connectors and stainless hardware... plus, it was a 3-4 week wait for the delivery after ordering.

I get 2 chassis for each 99.00 (10 pack) of 2020 extrusion, with careful planning, I had very little "waste" (3-6 inch) spare parts.
