Aw c'mon Dean and Clive, you just use a very short hex key

you have me thinking now lol. are those bearing blocks not designed to screw from plate into the blocks? thats how the design is by bolting from underneath into the blocks.

The bearing blocks are threaded and you bolt dowm into them. Your design cannot access them without removing the gantry profile first which makes setting the gantry square very difficult. You'll want to access them and leave lose fit while tweaking gantry square then tighten them.

dont know if im being stupid but what i had in mind was to only bolt the top alu profile untill its square then had the bottom.
