Crazy linear bearing idea! | | Hi all,
I was down at my local Home Depot the other night and I couldn't help but check out their wall mounted panel cutter.
The circular saw was mounted on a sled and used bearings like the drawings below. I thought they were pretty slick but I question their capability for precision.
They consist of u-bolts, black washers (they looked like plastic of some sort), and what looked identical to a nylon anti-scuff pad that you press into furniture legs.
This may have been discussed before, but I failed to find any mention.
Oh, BTW, please excuse my limited drawing skills. I just threw this together in 2 minutes.
What are your opinions?
