Has anyone tried out these products?

They are an a coated aluminum rail with polymer inserts. Their web site gives a list price of $0.08 per mm for the 25mm rail, and $62 each for the bearings. The quote I got back from a local rep was about 35% higher.

I hate paying more than required. Does anyone know of a better source for them?

Buy them direct from the shop in the Midwest. They will sell direct.

Hmmm... Their web site claims though a dealer only, and when I asked on the phone (after he knew I had a quote request in though a dealer) he said he would not sell direct.

that sucks Zephrant, I was hoping they did. bgriggs, did you buy in a large quantity?

No I just bought 4 rails but this was over 4 years ago. They may have changed policy since then.

Have you considered IGUS rails instead?
