Also known as slotted angle iron or slotted steel angle, this material consists of long lengths of steel angle with a series of evenly spaced holes or slots punched along its length.

How to Measure
Accurate measurement is key for a successful slotted angle project. First, determine the overall dimensions of your frame: height, width, and depth. When cutting lengths for vertical or horizontal members, account for the overlap at the corners. A common method is to cut the horizontal pieces to the exact outside dimension, and cut the vertical pieces to the full height. The connection is made by bolting through the overlapping legs. Always use the pre-punched holes as your guide for bolt placement to ensure alignment. Mark your cut lines clearly with a permanent marker or scribe. Use a metal cutting blade in a chop saw, a hacksaw, or an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel for a clean, square cut. Deburr the cut edges with a file for safety and easier assembly.
