Hi
I have a quantity of 25mm with a 1.6mm wall thickness polished stainless steel tube I was wondering if it would be possible to run round (LMU type) linear bearings on it. The stainless steel tube definitely seems harder than mild steel tube but it may not be as hard as proper ground linear rail. Its for a wood router so its probably not getting that much abuse and the difference in accuracy is not going to be a factor. I am wondering if the small contact area of linear bearing will wear the tube or even if the tube will deform under the pressure of the bearings. Has anyone tried this?
Thanks
