"BTW......the top of the class linear rails going by the name of Hiwin will not be available to the US in the very near future unless Hiwin relocates and uses US labour and materials etc.

Good grief , you really think that linear rails are going to be outlawed? We don't have a dictator we have a House and Senate that some times passes laws. It generally takes years to get something passed and if it does its a compromise between the two parties.
I will bet you that next year at this time I will still be able to get rails for about the same price. A year after that if they come from China there might be a import tax on them greater than what they have now. The EU adds 15% to most everything already and I bet you like that tariff.
If your so sure rails are going to "not be available" and excessively expensive and your so sure of yourself then buy $10,000 worth and make a killing re selling them. You could corner the market all by yourself. There wont be a tariff from your country to ours so your in just the right place to show us all how correct you are.
I know you love to argue about stuff like this but really if you reply please explain the EXACT process that the USA is going to force all rails to be made here.
