Monster sized long rails.
My wife would kill me if I bought them.
I see previous history of sales of this item have sold for as low as $57 !!!
Would love to see what a Zoner would do with them.

Probably bridge saw sized router. Too bad i dont have room for one of those...

Yes bridge saw,but,big butt,these are not listed in THK's online store.Maybe discontinued.Heavy?Yes the auction people will discuss shipping after closing.What do you do with one rail and no blocks?57bucks may not be a bargoon.Add 150+for shipping and 3or4 hundred per block,no wonder they go for 57bucks.

On second thought at 57bucks I could use them and weld them into a frame and possibly end up with a heavy duty table or shelves to store all my THK mismatched sets.If you don't get 2 rails and 4 blocks on E-bay it is worthless.Hiwin is much cheaper than buying one THK rail and blocks on E-bay and having to buy from THK the other half.

BTW, that is a 5000mm set that has two 94" rails. I confirmed with seller before I decided that there wasn't anything that I saw myself building in the future that could possibly make use of all that strength. Like you, I couldn't find quick prices on SHS55 but I'd guess that's about $2,000 worth of rail in that box.

As for the blocks, I guess you pray that you can get unbelievably lucky twice in the same week and find somebody else selling brand new SHS55 blocks like ......

good thing I got shipping quotes before bidding.Estimated shipping was $600 to$800 by a freight company.

Well, someone picked them up. 94 in is longer than anything I have planned (actually - room for), but if I won them, I could just drive to SLC from CA for less than $ 600 and pick them up.

Nice buy by someone. Thanks for the heads up note.
