Local opening size
A long opening can change the local tube section; the approved design should account for the remaining wall.
Custom Stainless Steel Slotted Rectangular Tubes
Custom rectangular stainless steel tube sections with slots, fixing holes or access cutouts on selected faces. The wide and narrow faces should be distinguished in both the drawing and part identification.

Slotted Rectangular Tubes: dimensions and quotation parameters.
The dimensions below help us review slotted rectangular tubes. State units and critical tolerances on the original drawing. The illustration explains the type of geometry; it does not define a standard size.
| Section width and height | Specify both outside dimensions and wall thickness. |
|---|---|
| Feature face | Identify whether each slot is on the wide or narrow wall. |
| Slot dimensions | State width, length and end profile. |
| Feature position | Locate all openings from named end and face datums. |
| Material & quantity | Give the exact metal grade, standard, temper or condition, quantity per revision and planned repeat orders. |
| Units & tolerances | Use mm or inches consistently. Mark the dimensions that control fit and the inspection datum. |
Thickness range, minimum features, tolerances, finish availability and delivery date are reviewed for your actual part. No catalog dimension or blanket machining tolerance is implied.
What we review
before cutting.
Tube section, axial feature locations and the orientation of holes, slots and shaped ends.
Opposite-face features
State whether openings are aligned through the section or deliberately offset.
Material and finish
belong in the drawing.
Grade, environment and visible-face requirements are separate specification choices. Include them before quotation so the material and process route can be reviewed together.
Specify the grade
Stainless steel options include 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 430 and duplex 2205. Carbon steel, galvanized steel, aluminium, copper and brass can also be discussed for your drawing. State the exact grade and applicable material standard.
Read the grade selection reference for general material context. Availability, product form and suitability are confirmed for the project. Explore all six material families.
Define the finished surface
Identify a mill finish, brushed appearance or another specified finish; include the visible face, grain direction and any surface-roughness requirement.
Specify edge deburring, protective-film handling and packing if they affect the delivered part. Read the finish terminology guide.
Material options are reviewed against your drawing, grade, thickness and finishing needs. Stainless steel remains our core focus; sourcing and the manufacturing route are confirmed during quotation.
Inspect the features
that matter to your assembly.
Inspect section orientation, slot locations and the finished end positions relative to the same datum.
Provide the inspection datum, critical dimensions and any requested records with the inquiry. A model preview supports communication; the approved engineering drawing remains the manufacturing reference.
Quality & material requirementsSlotted Rectangular Tubes:
common questions.
Can slots be added to opposite tube faces?
Yes, subject to feature and process review. Specify whether the slots align, their angular relationship and whether both are cut to the same dimensions.
What should I send for a quotation?
Send your slotted rectangular tubes drawing, grade, thickness or tube section, quantity, finish and critical dimensions. A clear PDF or image is accepted for review; a DXF supports flat cutting contours.
Can I request prototypes and production batches?
Include prototype quantity and expected repeat quantity in the inquiry. Batch size, process route and lead time are confirmed after the drawing and specification review.
