    Hi bazrite

    Try THIS SITE or THIS SITE .
    They are both Australian companies and they are both active on this board. The big advantage of this is that if you buy something from them and it goes belly up then you can complain here. Of course, it won't get to that stage as both Chris and Peter are very helpful blokes who will do all they can to help you.

    Be aware that if you are using threaded rod for your drive axis you will probably not be able to achieve any great speed. On the other hand, if your manufacturing skills are good then you should get pretty good accuracy.
