    In your opinion, what are the Chinese profile rails like? Their prices look fine, but most of the branded ones I've seen are just far far too much for me.
    You can't do that!
    You have previously clearly stated that here's nothing wrong with what you have!
    :D
    You think that's too expensive? You're not a Model Engineer are you? :D

    This is what I used on my gantry I'm very happy with it

    You could buy a set of 1500mm with 4 carriages and a set of 300mm with 4 carriages for £200 and then cut the 1500mm down to get the usable lengths of rail to fit X&Y and swap the carriages across.

    If you didn't buy it from China the company you bought it from did ;)

    They certainly aren't expensive, thanks!

    I'll look over the machine and see what the options for mounting are. A big fat back panel will certainly be needed.
    Thanks again.
