Just wondering if i'm missing something. I'm looking at rails and they don't cost $3500.

Please post some links. Im sure everyone would like to know where they can get a good deal on rails. As for the price difference, I suspect your not looking at quality Japanese THK or NSK rails in lengths over 1600mm. There's a large difference in price between Japanese and Chinese rails.

Hope you are all doing well. Well Im back. After being downsized a couple of years ago I finally am to the point where I want to get this table going. My original table has been doing all of my cutting, but I would like a little more accuracy and less bounce you get from that type of table. I will try to post pictures as I go forward as I am now starting to try and find all my notes and being the thought process again.

J-Car any updates I should be aware of from your table. I look forward to hearing from you guys again and seeing what projects you have done.

Thanks and great job!
