Where can you source the rail for these to run on?
Thx.

Hi Bill
The PBC linear website sells it but I don't know how much it would be. A few weeks ago someone on Ebay had one carriage on a 4 foot rail with a buy it now price of $250. I know the carriage alone from PBC is about $130+, so the rail might be as much as $30 a foot? That's just a guess going by that Ebay listing.
I've included a couple of pictures showing the profile of the rails on the CNC machine I'm building using these carriages.
Thanks 333;
That is some impressive looking rail. I can see where it would be kind of expensive to purchase.
Thanks for the pix.

I lucked into a piece of rail at the scrap yard that was long enough to be cut in half. I was originally planning on using a couple of thin flat pieces of steel I had and was just going to bolt that straight to a piece of 8020. That was going to be the side rail for the carriage to glide on.
I found some pics online that better demonstrate what I mean. These aren't my pics but will give you the idea.
These are all Sold. I still have two 7"x9" 1/4" thick PBC v groove bearing plates for sale if anyone is interested.
