Here is the photo. Any Ideas? thanks!!

I have a bunch 40' of it and I'm hoping to use it on a CNC build bit I need to by the matching bearings.
The local suppliers are not sure what brand who makes it so even a guess would help at this piont.
Thanks

Am In in the wrong section or?? Would it help if i gave dimensions better pictures, I'm really at a loss and I would hate just to scrape 40' of this product just to go with a different one.....thanks

Is it anodized aluminum? Looks similar to Igus stuff but pretty sure it's not theirs.

Looks like older technology.
Does it look "rough" and low quality or is it just the pictures and age?

Worst case you can scrap the rails and get something current.

Its Anodized steel very sharp and clean. But it my be old stock. I got it from Bruce the Chicken farmer! I want to make a gantry style Plasma but I'm going to start with a smaller gantry style router so I can mill some aluminum parts. If I can't fine the brand I won't be able to get the bearings so It may just be scrap, or.....

thanks for looking.

Why not improvise some DIY-solution for bearings - at least for an intermediate result. In my ears significant better than scrapping??
Looking at the photoes, the slides don't look that complicated, or what?
Probably no Extreme Precision - but consider if it maybe is good enough. Quoting a teacher back in the 70'ies: KISS (keep it simple stupid)

Very true the steel is machined giving it a consistence. I could use it as rails to run my bearings on. I'm planning on making a gantry style router CNC capable of milling aluminum. The plan is to make a smaller one to help make a bigger more accurate one. I figure the second one would be better just because I would have worked out some quirks. If the budget affords I would have a 4x8 Router and a 4x8 Plasma CNC. Thank you for your suggestion.
