Thanks Lee, Routernc and Komatias
I've not been able to find any info on the web about lubricating these SBRXXUU linear slide bearings. So I might just have to grease / oil the rails (lightly) I guess. I found a useful source for the ballscrew grease (Mobilux EP2) ( here) and much cheaper than Ma*Di* who charge £12 for a 50ml syringe! The tech support guy at Simply Bearings is making enquiries for me , so if I get a reply I'll post it here.
I hope to start on the electronics soon - within the next 3 weeks, so more questions and photos to come. Thanks to Jazz for posting a solution for the safety circuit and the use of proximity switches for homing. Now I understand how to wire the emergency stop system!Last edited by MikeyC38; 06-05-2016 at 01:02 AM.
