hiwin rail question

[JAZZCNC]

Anyway I am planning to buy TBI motion rail and ball screw for my machine her in Hungary.
I have 20 % discount of the list price
Flanged high carrige TRFH25 -28 GBP
rail TR25 -46 GBP
Ball screw 20x10 T5 -34 GBP

Have you got any experience ?

Hi Istvan,

Those prices seem a little high compared to what you would pay from China. Chai at linearmotionbearings sells PDF brand linear rails which are IMO slightly better quality than TBI for much less. The Flanged bearings cost approx $20usd, Slim type $19usd and the rails approx $39usd/per mtr.

Only up side with buying these rails for you is they are in your country. With Linear rails this doesn't really mean much has they are such simple components that the only trouble you could have is to loose balls or damage the plastic ball holders while fitting. In practise this doesn't happen often unless your very heavy handed. (Bearings will arrive on the rails from Chai so this is not a problem.)
