- 80×40 40 Series Universal Corner Brackets provide a strong and flexible solution for creating secure 90-degree joints in aluminium extrusion assemblies. Designed for high shear and moment resistance, these brackets offer high structural integrity of frameworks without requiring any machining. Their universal design allows them to be mounted either parallel or perpendicular to the extrusion slot, and they do not have to be used solely for extrusion-to-extrusion connections. This versatility makes them ideal for a wide range of applications, from machine enclosures to industrial workstations, ensuring a reliable and durable connection. Pros and Cons Universal Corner Brackets for adjustable and strong aluminium extrusion assemblies. Pros Cons No Machining Required: Simplifies assembly by eliminating the need for complex modifications to the extrusion. High Shear and Moment Resistance: Provides strong, stable connections for demanding applications. Adjustable: Allows for flexibility and easy reconfiguration in your design. Universal Mounting: Parallel or perpendicular to the slot and not limited to extrusion-to-extrusion use. Time Consuming: Requires additional fastening steps compared to some other connectors. Visible Fixing: Bracket and fixings remain exposed in finished assemblies Protrudes into Internal Frame Space: May limit the ability to place components, panels, or doors within the frame. Application Universal Corner Brackets are designed for use with 40 Series T-Slot Aluminium Extrusions to create strong and stable 90-degree connections. These brackets offer excellent shear and moment resistance, making them suitable for high-strength structural frameworks, machine enclosures, and modular assemblies. Their adaptability ensures a reliable connection in various configurations while maintaining ease of assembly and long-term durability.

Need This Tool Customized?
Every machining application is different. If this tool is close to what you need but not an exact fit, General Cutting Tools can help modify it for your specific job, machine, material, or production requirement.
We work with CNC shops, industrial manufacturers, tool rooms, and production facilities to provide tool modifications that improve fit, function, performance, and efficiency. Whether you need a small adjustment or a more specialized cutting tool solution, our team can review your requirements and recommend the best option.
Custom tool modifications can help reduce setup time, improve accuracy, extend tool life, solve clearance issues, and support more consistent production results.
Common Tool Customization Options
Diameter and OD Modifications
We can modify tool diameters to better match your application requirements, including cutting diameter changes, OD modifications, pilot diameter adjustments, step diameters, and shank diameter modifications.
Bore Modifications for Saw Blades
Custom saw blade bore modifications are available for hole diameter changes, pinholes, mounting holes, and keyway cutouts to help match your machine setup and cutting requirements.
Length Adjustments
Tools can be modified for specific reach, clearance, or setup needs. This may include overall length changes, flute length adjustments, reduced neck sections, extended reach designs, or shortened tools for improved rigidity.
Shank Modifications
Shank modifications can help ensure the tool fits properly in your holder, spindle, or machine setup. Common options include shank diameter changes, flats, Weldon flats, reduced shanks, and custom holding requirements.
Radius, Chamfer, and Corner Changes
We can customize corner radius, chamfer angles, edge breaks, and other profile details to meet part print requirements or improve cutting performance.
Step Tool Modifications
For applications that require multiple diameters or operations in a single tool, we can create or modify step tools to help reduce tool changes and improve production efficiency.
Flute and Cutting Edge Adjustments
Depending on the tool and application, flute length, cutting edge geometry, end cutting features, relief angles, and cutting edge shape may be modified to improve chip evacuation, cutting action, and tool performance.
Regrinding and Resharpening
Many cutting tools can be reground or resharpened to restore performance, extend tool life, and reduce replacement costs.
Custom Profiles and Special Forms
For unique part features, we can help provide special forms, custom profiles, custom radii, counterbores, countersinks, keyseat cutters, form tools, and other application-specific tooling solutions.
Material-Specific Tool Adjustments
We can help modify or recommend tooling based on the material being machined, including aluminum, brass, bronze, plastics, stainless steel, hardened steel, cast iron, composites, and other industrial materials.
Have a Drawing, Sample, or Part Print?
Send us your print, sketch, CAD file, photo, tool number, sample, or application details. For the fastest quote, include the material being cut, quantity needed, required dimensions, tolerances, and any machine or holder requirements.
Coating Options
Tool coatings can be selected or added to improve wear resistance, heat resistance, lubricity, and performance in specific materials such as steel, stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, and high-temperature alloys.
