Where do people tend to source these days (I might need another ballscrew if I can't get the wooddust out of this one!) and what's the quality like?

    EDIT: Oh or these? BST Linear
    Chai is a good guy but BST seems to be the place to go to now. I have purchased from both and been happy though.

    I was happy dealing with Chai but it's always nice to see what others have to offer (and I wasn't sure if Chai was still going) - did I have one of the links right for BST?

    Yes the link is http://www.aliexpress.com/store/314742 he has a gmail account on there and Fred always answer his emails I would contact him via email for a quote.

    I believe Chai is still in business.

    Cheers Clive, much appreciated! I received an email back from Chai regarding bellows (they don't do) so he's still on the go which is good to know!
