Any plain bearing, including igus bearings, will bind up if you exceed the 2:1 rule, see here for more information: http://www.igus.co.uk/wpck/default.a...egeln&CL=GB-en

A better system in my opinion would be DryLin W, more flexible bearing spacing and lower cost: http://www.igus.co.uk/wpck/default.a...ename=drylin_w

DryLin bearings work really well in woodworking enviroments, see video here: http://www.igus.co.uk/_wpck/mpg/glob...rommelHolz.mpg
