Mike,
Thanks, that clears it up for me then, as the only parts I can't get at Depot, Ace, or TruValue are the bearings. However, I can get the all thread, tubing, or aluminum angle at any of the above, and if you go to the housewares section you can also get those nice white nylon/polymer cutting boards that are great donors for slider pads. Line a piece of alu angle with it and use a piece for the rear and you have a decently simple, ridgid guiding way. Works a treat on the Z axis.
It's low profile too!
Or, using pipe or extruded tubing, and V groove pulleys you can make a decently cheap, simple and accurate moving table for larger size routers.
The possibilities are endless!!!
Iain
