I bought 2 of these on eBay for $245.86 including tax & shipping. These are for CXA.
For this price, I get 8 holders, 2 pieces of aluminum extrusion, all hardware & endcaps.

What can you use that for Tom ? I have a 22 ton in the garage . I always figured it was for lifting railroad cars or something .

That's a beaut! I bet $490 will buy a few sticks of 80/20 and enough titanium scraps to make the holder-holders. Why let some schmuck with a turn-key 3d printer take money from a guy who owns tools? And titanium!

I had a 38 ton railroad jack years ago and it was for lifting rail cars.

The $246 was for *both* racks.
I coulda shoulda woulda fabbed my own, but I am very much looking forward to spending my free time practicing welding for the foreseeable future. I have been getting set up for this for 2 1/2 years, and only now I find myself set up to do so in the manner that I planned. Most people would find this boring, but I find it very fulfilling.

I bought these for the purpose of mounting two “CXA lathe tool organizers” to the backsplash of my engine lathe.
I paid $54.63 including tax & delivery for 10 of these. I only need 8 of them.
My lathe backsplash has a ridge sticking out of it so I *might* use these as stand offs to clear that ridge, and then fab the mount which would be a very easy task.
Alternatively, I could use these as per their design (i.e. mounted to the side of the aluminum extrusion), and then fab the stand offs (i.e. “spacers”) needed to clear the ridge.
