I have myself modular 760mm rail. I have also seen 1m rail. Is there anything longer possible by combining two rails together?

Horseman sold this coupling plate, it was in a catalog, I bought a used one on eBay years ago
I used it once to mount two 700 mm rails with everything I had to make one long bellows
Only good if you need it

Exactly
A very long Horseman could be built on top of a 20/80 extrusion, I have used lots of it

We do still make some things here...
What I really like about 80/20 is they will also cut to length, thread tap holes even small orders and ship quickly
They also offer offer Metric and Imperial sizing
I have a ULF camera project that has stalled, using their parts
one of these years...

Fortunately you can buy similar profiles worldwide. I belive the system was actually invented by ›item‹ in 1980.

About buying 80/20 T-slotted extrusion. As mentioned in post #7 above, 80/20 themselves offer great service. But at a price. They sell "surplus" on amazon.com, if all that's needed is a section of extrusion and they offer the length desired, at lower prices.
