There are two companies (both in the UK who can help out with high quality wormwheels to suit your needs for the RA and DEC axes. Look up BEAKON HILL TELESCOPES. http://beaconhilltelescopes.org.uk/ or Tel: ++44 (0)1507 363 381.

And someone else who I've come across who I highly recommend who can help you out with complete drive systems to suit , look up AWR Technology in the UK. http://www.awrtech.co.uk/ email alan@awrtech.co.uk
Thanks for the links! I'm not sure about the weight entirely. I was planning to build my own cassegrain OTA. How much would you expect a 20-30 inch pyrex glass mirror to weigh?
