It may seem like slightly overkill for this application, but at $75 (plus say another $50 for the top fence and some other parts) it's still about half the $270 the original builder spent for parts. I've done some looking and about the best I could do with the linear slide style was $150, and that's with getting the housing from reject stock. As long as this would stay square, I think it would make a nice design, and as long as the rails were supported on the ends, I think they could be quite long.
