I have an 8' and a 20' length of _straight_ alumin(i)um angle in my
shop to solve exactly that problem. :-)
Oh yeah? Are yours ± 0.002 over 12 feet? Huh? Huh? *G

The twenty-footer is "pretty danged straight", so - since you haven't
said ±0.002 of /what/ units, I'll assume AU - I'll say: "Yeah, sure!"
Pretty good, eh?

The eight-footer (being only 8 feet long) isn't /anything/ over 12 feet. :-)

Best of all, the cost was under $1/foot.

I have a 6" wide x 1/4" x 144" for which I paid $ 80.00. I am pretty
happy with that. It is wide enough that I can use a router on top with
a trimmed bushing. It is straight enough for all practical purposes if
I don't lean into it too much.
