    I wish someone would come up with a good way to cut these extrusions precisely perpendicular. That's crucial because the it's the cut face that controls whether two pieces of extrusion are perpendicular to one another. And it's surprisingly difficult to get a chop saw adjusted (and kept) precisely perpendicular.

      What do you mean? I cut them all day with a chop saw and an appropriate blade, and carefully set my blade angle.

      @@MartinBogomolni Right. It's the "carefully setting the blade angle" that defeats me! What sort of chop saw do you use, and how do you perform this careful setting? How good a perpendicular do you achieve for two extrusions where you thread the hole in the cut end of one of one of them, and screw that cut face against the side of the other extrusion so the two pieces form an "L"?

      @@Graham_Wideman you're probably going to hate me... but I use a battery powered Ryobi chop saw from Home Depot, and an appropriately sized specialty aluminum cutting blade I got from WoodCraft. To set the angle, I use ( not too surprisingly ) a good steel speed square measured to the edge of the blade/fence and I set the "90" degree hard stop on my saw... All my cuts are well within a few tenths of a degree and the finished product looks perfect.

    Why would you risk dangerous cutting option when fiber abrasive cutting disk are more fail proof method of cutting?

    The connectors are ridiculously expensive...
    Use 1/4-20 button head screws where possible.
