Does anyone know where it might be possible to purchase this aluminium extrusion used as a guide on a bandsaw to which the fence locks onto.

Very likely you won’t except as spares for the bandsaw, as the profile was probably designed for the saw manufacturer, but you could try stockists of aluminium extrusions generally. Some stockists have a range of odd shapes listed as architectural or “transport” (coach-building) materials.

It might though be feasible to laminate standard profiles to create an equivalent.

Many thanks – will take a look but initial research suggests I need to fabricate something that will do the same rather than try and find an exact match.
