Hi 4R8
Would be great to see another one being built, go ahead and post here if you want.
Sounds like your going along the same route as I'm planning with v rails and racks. What did you use for rails and wheels? I was planning on building both. ordered in some skate board bearings for the wheels (cheapest smallish sized bearing I could find). Was mostly the dust issue I was concerned with using ball screws, can't see an easy way to seal them, but the critical speed also was a concern.
Are you planning on having automatic torch height control? Could probably live without it.
Lets see some photos.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
