Hmm, I looked at the rack and pinion idea, but thought belt drive would be easier. Hey I am open to all options here, I just need to keep the cost down (thats why I am trying to get away from the ball screws) all good points keep em coming I will most likely not be able to afford any of the screws/belts/racks or whatever for a while. I just want to purchase the parts once and not twice.
