    Default rails for a longarm quilting frame

    I asked how to get a dent out of my rail and have not achieved the solution as of yet. I was wondering anyone know where I can get the rails from new or used it does not matter if they are in good condition. I know there are those that are updating their rails to new ones I am hoping I can find someone like that

    I think the type of rail you need depends on what frame you have, so you need to give us the brand and model of frame you have. It might help also to describe your rails.

    How did the rail get dented? I am thinking if it is dented on only one side, you might be able to simply turn it around to still have the carriage able to run on it.

    My DH went to Home depot and got my rail's when I got my new LA Dealer told us any pipe the correct diameter, mine are 1 1/2. Ask for EMT conduit they will cut length you need. Clean well with alcohol to remove any oily film let from cutting pipe.

    Are you referring to the rails you mount a quilt on or the rails the machine travels along? I thought you meant the travel rails?

    Default Metal Rails

    Has anyone replaced the aluminum backing rail (top) on the Inspira Imperial Quilting Frame with a mental one so magnets can be used to help float the quilt top?

    Thanks!

    My DH said mine looked like garage door tracks. Go to home improvement store and see if they look the same.

    Mine are galvanized electrical conduit that we got from Home Depot or Lowe's. I don't remember the diameter, but yours may be different from mine.
