At the www.mcmaster.com home page click on TRACK ROLLERS under the
POWER TRANSMISSION group... it will show you a choice of 5 pages...
Track Rollers(1) thru Track Rollers(5)... the V-grooved are on the
fifth page (actual page number 986).

Click on SHAFTS under the POWER TRANSMISSION group... they start at
page 944. In fact, most linear movement stuff (sliding/rolling
components, leadscrews, etc.) is between 944 and 986.

I've been cruising this section of the catalog for about 15 years now
(much better selection in the last couple years) imagining various
router/mill projects... finally taking the plunge and doing it for
real!
