Blimey i started this thread back in 2009????
Has anyone taken apart a bearing carriage from HiWin and seen how it is made? I'm just wondering if it is possible to make our own?
You can look inside... in short not a chance. The tolerances are incrediblty tight, so grinding machines are the only way. The nearest you get to homemade is the 'skate bearing' method which leaves a lot to be desiredQuote:

Yeah, we could use homemade hiwin carriages on it...........sorry, couldn't resist.
