Thread: Purchasing a z-axis?

Hi there,
I have been putting together my own cnc mill. I've put together the X and Y axes, but I have been thinking lately that I'd prefer to purchase the z axis instead of making it. It just seems a little to findly, and I don't think I could make it accurate enough.
The only problem is that I can't find anywhere that does one at a reasonable price! Can anyone help?
I found this:
http://www.worldofcnc.com/products.asp?recnumber=88
but its a little expensive for what is essentially three blocks of metal a lead screw and some bearings?
Also found this:
http://www.hepburnengineering.co.uk/products.htm
Scroll right to the bottom...
That would have been about right, but communication with the guy went dead when I asked him if he could put the item up on his ebay store instead of me sending money through the post.
Looking for something in the 200 - 250 range. Anyone know where I could get something like this. Or would someone be willing to use their CNC machine to mill me some parts?
Thanks for your help,
David.
