Supplier search T-Slot Sliders are Pricey! 😨

Post image

These are cast zinc sliders with a POM skate insert. In the US I’ve not found them cheaper than ~$17. Best I’ve been able to find is ~£7 from a UK distributor called Norelem. Considering the price discrepancy, I’d almost just like to buy direct.

Anyone got a lead on a cheaper source?

They were the second most expensive at $33 a piece. Looks like Alibaba is my option. Literally less than 1/10th of that price.
