On the other end of the luck scale, we have Ries in Ecuador who is having a ridiculously hard time locating racks at a reasonable price (link). Ria, here is your chance to earn some bragging rights

Gerald, by my understanding so far, looking at their stock rack list, it seems I would need (2) R2020x12 and (2) R2020x6 for a 5x10 table size. Also it seems as if a 30 tooth pinion gear would be the right choice for an Oriental Motor 7.2 geared motor. Am I on the right track here? Thanks, Darren

That's the right track Darren, but you will have to check your own length calcs. (plus z axis)

Hi Robert,
I'm new to the mech mate site so I"m not sure what you would need exactly, i.e. length and tooth size. Let me know.
Thanks,
Ria

Ria, general guide for when Mechmate builders give you vague requirements:

The rack is 1/2" wide. 1/2" high, DP20, pressure angle 20 degrees.

The lengths are trickier.....

The longer of the dimensions in the table size is generally the X size, the shorter is the Y size. So when Robert said 6'x12', his X=12' and his Y=6'. There is also a short Z of about 10" to 14" involved (folk normally use off-cuts for the Z).

Then, to get to actual rack lengths, if the X, Y and Z are known:

For X axis, Two (2) racks (twin set) each of length X plus 7.3".
For Y axis, a single rack of Y plus 6.1"
For Z axis, a single off-cut of 15.3" max

If your standard lengths are 6' and 3', then Robert would just manage on 5 lengths of 6' and 1 length of 3'. (needs a double-check by Robert of course)
