I'm tossing around another table build. If I decide to do it it'll be a 4x8 with a little extra added room, I guess 5x9..
acourtjester is somewhat familiar with my build from years ago if he remembers it.. I designed some real nice skates to run on a piece of machined angle iron and they work fantastic and still work fantastic after years of home shop use. They are a bit complicated though, rather easy to machine and were cheap because I had a Bridgeport mill in my shop, material was free, just had to buy the bearings and bolts..
Lets see some of your diy skates!

This is what I have used on 6 tables for both X and Y sliders, Y is larger.
