    To clarify- I already have satisfactory leadscrew & nuts (thanks to Ivan on here) - it wasn't a cry for help (but thanks anyway!) it was an observation as I cruised the various related websites, that there's what I'd consider a decent opportunity for someone to fill some niches for hobbyists - for example why not put a package of the most popular set length trapezoidal screw & delrin nuts together...maybe along with the SK supports and bearings. Once you sell a few the "word of mouth" inertia would have the hobbyists beating on your door. (rather than having them importing from China).

    At the minute, even for some things as elementary as the main leadscrew, a newbie has to research/learn/piecetogether the shopping list & then go find out that it's often disparate - ie you get that bit from here, that from there & the other bit from there....& oh, you can't actually use them unless you want to shell out an extra £80 to have the rod ends machined. Just puzzled why nobody does such 'hobbyist priced packages'... (I can't imagine trapezoidal rod costs that much wholesale in long lengths). It seems a little ironic that on a website full of CNC enthusiasts, that nobody with the right equipt is being entrepreneurial & plugging those apparent niches......again, not a gripe, just seems like an obvious opportunity.
