How wide do your tracks need to be? I'm using a Rexnord stainless conveyor table top chains similar to these:

Sounds expensive, but I had no building to do and the tracks are indestructible. I offered them less than they were asking on Ebay and they accepted. Offer even if they don't have a buy it now option. If the stuff has been around a while then they may just sell it to you cheaper. This was exactly like the one I bought only narrower than mine and uses standard 60 pitch sprockets: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Conveyor-belt-1864AK3-1-4-Steel-top-plate-10ft-TableTop-Rexnord-/121306709551?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c3e717e2f Rexnord is just one of the manufacturers. Search Ebay for "table top chain" and you might find something that may be useful for a decent price.
