Personally I refuse to buy anything that doesnt have a diameter tolerance given.
So instead get these:
http://australia.rs-online.com/web/p/linear-shafts-rails/3411560/
400mm long
60+ HRc
8mm dia nominal to h6 tolerance
In fact these are probably better than the ones I have on my own machine...

Hey everyone,
I've been wanting to do this mod for quite a while, but am having a bit of trouble finding a supplier for the shafts. I was looking at the ones snowygrouch suggested from conrad.de, but they charge 40euros to ship to australia, which is a bit steep considering the shafts are only 10.
The only local ones i have found that meet the specs are a bit overkill, costing around 50dollars each. Or maybe I just don't know where to look.
Someone suggested one of the rod sets from ultimachine, maybe this one:

I could get this while ordering some other things, but are they suitable?
So, If anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be fantastic...
Cheers,
Jacob
