What do you mean by aligning the top mate?

Good call if Nick is up for it.
I made one a while back for tapping and actually tapped the thread into the guide rather than a tap clearance hole. That way the tap is held straight and winds itself into the hole to start the thread. Works both ways so up to you.
Mine was aluminium as I had it to hand and only needed a few holes. Silver steel is a better option for longevity.

sorry i read it wrong lol i thought you said top but yeah i was thinking of a tap one aswel

assuming that all linear rails have the same spec because i am still unsure where to get the rails from yet but od will be 9.5mm and would need one with 4.2mm hole and 5mm hole. postage is fine mate just let me know how much you want in total.

really appreciate this :)

cheers

Thanks mate, just out of curiosity would one set made out of silver steel handle 500+ holes? if not then i may need to ask for a few if magic is up for it.
