    Well, I tried 'borrowing' your design Ross but couldn't get it narrow enough for my requirements. Great ideas though.

    This is what I ended up with:

    Here's my current design. Just trying to work out how to fix the 4 blocks to the aluminium plate that slides on the Y axis. There's not much room and it's made more difficult because the bolts thread into the bearing blocks...I don't really want to start drilling those out.

    One plus of having the Z rails this way round is that that aluminium angle will stiffen up the 20mm aluminium plate significantly. Maybe I can replace the 600x160x20mm plate with 15mm to save a few ££'s?
