I got mine from CNC Router parts and Boston Gear for the rack. Not terribly expensive either, and Boston Gear doesn't mind working with the little guys like us. I'll have to dig up my contact point at Boston Gear. She was very knowledgeable and very good at taking care of customer service. I think I have her name and email address at home somewhere. Can't seem to find it here at work.
