Without going into the fine details about your application, I have come up with the following:
4 x 20mm Profile Rail
- Carriage: Two per rail
- Length: 1900mm £612.12
3 x ZPSF2005 (Ballscrew)
- Mounting Block (Fixed End): BK-15
- Machining: None
- Ball Nut: Single (ZPSF)
- Length: 1900mm
- Mounting Block (Floating End): BF-15 £344.25
1 x ZPSF1605 (Ballscrew)
- Ball Nut: Single (ZPSF)
- Length: 200mm
- Machining: None
- Mounting Block (Fixed End): BK-12
- Mounting Block (Floating End): BF-12 £52.64
2 xSFC16 Precision Round Rail (16mm)
- Carriage: Two
- Length: 300mm £22.28
4 x SK Mounting for SFC
- Model: SK16 (for 16mm rail) £4.24
This works out to be
Sub-Total: £1,035.53
Shipping: £0.00 (Free)
VAT (17.5%): £181.22
Total: £1,216.75
This is for three axis Ball screws and bearings, mounting blocks, and assuming you will do the machining on the ball screws for the mounting blocks?

I was under the impression that these linear guides were cheaper than ballscrews. I dont think I will ever need to cut anything more than half a sheet of steel which is 4 ft by 4 ft. Building a smaller table means that it wont take up too much of my precious shed floor.
