You post is a little confusing did you order some VXB bearings too? Which the double set or individuals? |
I'd be willing to bet the salesmonkey you talked to is an idiot, and slipped the decimal point one place to the left. The only Hiwin rolled stock I've ever seen is 0.003"/foot, as is MOST rolled stock. I've *never* seen a rolled screw with a lead error of 0.0003"/foot. Most ground screws aren't even that good. The best rolled screws I've ever seend are the Nook XPRs, which are 0.001"/foot.
