    Cool Newbie with a question about gear racks for a new 4 * 4 plasma table Build

    I am building a table and I need to know what the normal size gear racks I should use. I am building my machine loosely off of the drawings found from PrecisionPlasmaLLC's website.
    I need to purchase 2 ea. 60" long gear racks and their drawing calls for 24 pitch * 14 degree rack. So far I only find this available in 1/4 wide dimensions. This seems kind of narrow to me, but I am not really sure what thickness or width is normally used. Also I am finding it difficult to find the gear racks that are already pre-drilled for easier mounting. Does anyone know of a place in the USA where I can buy this from or does anyone have any information they can share with me. I wonder if using that pitch really matters because I think I would really rather have a wider gear track. It seems like it would wear longer???

    edclayton1,

    I am in the same boat as you. I am doing a lot of research at the present time so if I come across anything that looks good I will let you know. Please do the same for me.

    Bobby

    That is what I used and it works good with 3m tape. I got mine off Ebay from StencilShack and need more but he hasn't emailed me back. Good luck.

    I have a 20DP-20PA rack that was designed to work with the 8020 extrusions. It's .500" x .750" with holes drilled and C'bored through the side. Feel free to call or msg for the print and pricing.

    No personal experience but lots of folks here have gone with Moore Gear for their rack...
