What do you call cost effective Doug?

I just got a catalog and complete pricing info. directly from Thomson
today.

A 1/2 dia ball screw 6' foot long suitable for use on a router table
(unless
you need super good precison?) lists for $73.64.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I can design a system that allows
the table on a 6 foot long ball screw to move 10 feet. Therefore, you only
need two of these for your router table.
