Thanks for the offer Larry, unfortunately I'm in Oz so the shipping etc
would likely be a killer.

There's an eBayer in Eastern Australia who has Chinese ballscrews cheap, but
I'm even cheaper so I'm looking at some ACME leadscrews.

I'm using the SBR16UU bearing blocks, the quality is not the best, but
probably good enough for my needs.


shipping small items that will fit in a flat rate envelope (about 10
inches max length) or a flat rate box (up to about 17 inches for the
longer one) is not too pricy. and if the weight is not too much, it's
reasonable, it's when you want to ship something heavy.

The other way to get things from the US to Australia is to find someone
going there on vacation or business who will carry it
