    Thanks guys, I'll have a bit of a search around and see what I can dig up.

    I'm not totally gutted as at £50 am sure I can sell on the ballscrews I have at a profit anyway, should I never find a use for them :)

    I'm thinking to aim for a working area around a4 sized, very likely the first build will be MDF as I don't have much in the way of metal tools.

    What sort of size ballscrew will be most suitable? Is it as simple as the lower mass ballscrew/nut, the smaller motor or faster acceleration/deceleration can be achieved, for any given motor?

    BIG BIG mistake don't go near MDF. Just on way out now so can't get into it now but just look around and you'll see why. I'll drop you a PM with my number as I can probably help with making something more substancial.
