Low cost Gear Rack in Aus.

[MonoNeuron]

I have been scouring the web for low cost rack for ages and AI would like to know if there are cheap suppliers here in Aus that sell them.
Some suppliers want $1000 for 600mm length.
I would like the same stuff that McMaster Carr sell in America for $200 for 8 foot length or close. Even double the price would be cheaper than some retailers.

McMaster stopped selling to small entities a few years ago and I haven't been able to find a cheap supplier since.

1, 1.5 and 2 module around abouts.

Local would be great.

I have a rack from my mini-mill that fitted on the column. Would this be suitable to you for this project?

Cheers,

Thanks Andrew but it would be a tad too small. I was looking to install on a 4 meter by 2.5 meter plasma table.
I have bought some from carolandrob on Ebay for $54 for a 4 foot length so I bought a few sticks of it (8) and payed the $190 delivery fee. Still way cheaper than local but I would like to find a cheap supplier for another project in about 1 years time.
Seems like the good 'ol USA still is the land of plenty.
