This project stalled after i had built the main frame and gantry, due to work commitments.

So here is where i am at the moment.

I built the frame and gantry and ended up making the gantry too high, this weekind the reworked gantry will be completed.

I will require:

Two 2100mm hiwin type flat rails with 4 bearing blocks.
Two 1500mm hiwin type flat rails with 4 bearing blocks.
Two 400mm hiwin type flat rails with 4 bearing blocks.

So what do you think this will cost and where would it be best purchased, i have looked around at the usual suspects and just wondered if anyone had any other suppliers.
