    15mm x500mm square rails with 2x carriages was £37 off eBay. They were posted from uk but still surprisingly quick for Christmas time.

    I ordered a second today, it'll arrive before I have time to build anything anyway.

    I'm quite worried about getting the mounting holes correct. I think I'll mock it up in acrylic or something first. Once it's correct, I might pay someone to machine it in aluminium. Might be able to do it myself- we'll see. Lol.

    I plan to buy two 20mm rails , 750mm long to replace the y axis bearings. Looks like a pretty easy job. That's gonna cost me £124 (china). After that, there's not much left and I'll just have to get on with actually milling stuff.
