lock down channel

[Sailing-Randy]

I have been fascinated by the mini channel I've seen in certain plans for ship jigs. The stuff is like a square cornered "C" and you put a square nut in the channel and can then lock it down by tightening up the screw on top. It seems to me this stuff has to be available somewhere else besides the specialty shops. Does anybody know of standard channel like this that is used elsewhere.

I have tried looking up channel on the web and and have not turned up anything yet. I figure they must use it someplace else like hanging plumbing pipe or something. Any ideas?
