Thanks man, What do you think of the rails and Carriage I posted on the previous page?

Yes these are the type of thing you need and Hi-win are good quality linear rails just expensive. I've sent email and put a little about rails in it.

Hey, thanks, I have seen the email...allot of time saved with using these files! much appreciated..

When you sau adjust to suite do you mean extend the rails or shorten the rails in SW, per manufactured one...no point me making one 846mm right.

Ill get to work on a design now then, Any prefernace on something i have seen dont but to me there is no added benefit... Is it better to put the rails on the side of the machine or on top? The one benefit i see is that if its on top you get much more freedom in terms of fine tuning the machine.

Yes just lengthen or shorten to suit your needs. That particular rail is just one I grabbed from a machine design and each machine design will have it's own length version. The Bearing is standard across all machines so only need one instance which you don't change.

Ideal, Spent most of last night getting the basic design on paper then spent a couple hours on SW going through a few differnt configurations with this one being the easiest and simplest to make :)

What do you think? There is a piece connecting the rail section underneath going across the X axis. Oh and the board would be MDF...SW doesnt seem to have that
