I did quite a lot of looking around at linear bearing/rail options before starting my design process...if you look at the price of decent V-bearings for the Maker Slide type system, they're actually quite expensive. Given that your cutting area isn't particularly large, I think the price difference between the Maker slide route & Chinese supported rail will be minimal (see Chai) - particularly when you consider the difference in quality.

When I started the design process for my machine (which i'm currently building) I wanted to get it built as quickly & as cheaply as possible...i've now changed my approach to taking a bit more time & accepting the fact that its better to spend a little more as the end result will be worth it.
