    best place for rack and pinion set up

    Hello,
    I've had a torchmate 2x2 for the past couple years now and I'm ready to up-size my table to a 4x8 (cut space). I'm going to go with the rack and pinion style but I'm having a hell of a time finding a place in the US that sells them. i don't require stainless just a hardened steel will do if that even. my gantry will be fairly light weight. any help here would be appreciated, or if you have knowledge of another comparable drive set up please feel free to share.

    Thanks,
    Shane

    CNCRouterParts sells a rack setup with a fairly simple motor mount that you can buy from them.
