    My machine has fixed to fixed on all axis and generally having in mind the low price of the bearings i am even doing my foam cutter like that. The only problem with that arrangement that you will ever encounter is if something is not well aligned. I am milling up to steel with my router, so excuse me if i do not trust a fixed/floating arrangement. Plus FYI Chinese sell the many times the BK and other mounts with deep groove bearings, not angular. Sometimes you will have to specifically specify that you like to have angular bearings. Its in the small letters usually if you pay attention. Hence that's why i don't change providers if i can help it.

    Buy HTD pulleys from reputable sellers only or you will have a box of faulty pulleys, like the one i have.
