where to source rack and matching pinion

[thriller007]

Looking at making my own version of the baja no-pinch tire installation tool. Like this one here

https://www.amazon.ca/BAJA-NO-PINCH-1001-Motorcycle/dp/B00J41H2DO $227 for the basic kit or $391 for the deluxe
That incentivizes me to try to make something based on the same principles. So where can I source some rack and pinion? where would they be used is something else that I could repurpose? looking for about 10mm x 10 mm x 200 mm thanks

I’ve bought racks and pinions from McMaster-Carr.

Thank fellas, I actually have looked there but it seemed like it added up quickly once you had your parts and the shipping for something that you are not sure if it is going to work on not

You could check kijiji for a junk drill press and use the table lifting rack and pinion

Good idea!

Motion Industries has outlets in Canada, but as you're finding out buying "new" racks / gears is not cheap.

Every rusty old lathe sitting out back of hundreds of shops has a rack & pinion to slide the saddle rack bolted to the lathe bed & gearing inside the saddle.
