While building my cnc mill, domo, I found myself annoyed at the crazy go nuts shipping cost of 8020s fasteners. Seven dollars is a bit absurd for a part that weights virtually nothing. Being miserly and impatient I found a few other simple ways to join gussets to 8020 rails.

Signing UpStep 1: 1/4 20 - socket cap bolt and diy plate
There's not much to say about this little diy plate except that you can make it in minutes.
Parts:
Hot Rolled 1/2 steel - You can can get this at any bigbox or order it here (.59c for 12")
Socket cap bolts - the ones shown here are from 8020 as they were left over, however you can use any 1/4-20 socket cap screws with a washer if required. These are 1/2", yet 5/8" lengths should work.
You only need to drill and tap two holes on 1.5" on center or what ever distance fits your application.
