rack and pinion - not the automotive

[podolskiy]

Hello
I am planning a building a cnc machine and i would like to use rack and pinion.

I could easily find affordable lead screw on the net, but looking for racks and pinions is veri hard since it is hard to separate machine rack and pinion from a car one.

I am looking for some cheap, possibly plastic racks and pinions I can use on my cheap and light-duty CNC router. (Just to run the dremel)

Thank you.
