I've been pondering this one whilst building my mini machine. It came to me that V groove bearings (Textile bearings for the UK listeners) are very expensive, so was there an alternative. What i came up with is Patio Door rollers. The track is a reasonable cost too. Size is about right and most are double bearing. Also you could look at gate closing systems. Have gander and see if you agree.
If the nagging gets really bad......Get a bigger shed:naughty:
