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.)

Hi Jazz,

This price includes 27%! VAT thanks to our lovely gov. that hopefully can get back since I run a recently sleeping
business next to my daily job. And the other thanks -since 2012 one has to pay VAT +10% tax after goods from non-EU countries. Additionally I am wonder of the cost of the transport( I assume about 50 kg pack including all the stuff). What about this at Chai?
Note this rail is 25 mm so can compare to Hiwin20 price
If it is just slight different in quality (good to hear) I would remain at TBI
