Linear rail

[Jdw652]

hi I am wanting to upgrade my TM2 to have a router and plasma but the liner rail is not long enough on my gantry to accept 2 cassettes and have range of motion of 48" for each. Does any one know where I can get a longer rail in north America or for that matter sent to north America? I have 2 cassettes one for the plasma and one for the router and when I approached torchmate they said that a 60" rail is just over $1000 USD. So that would be close to $1500CDN to get it to me.

Think that's where TM gets their rails.

After a lot of searching, I found the linear rails used by Torchmate.
They are Franke Bearings FDA-K35 (Part No: 84364A)

I have purchased a rail from Franke Bearings UK.
