Someone in chat suggested supporting the rails and using a bearing that's open on the bottom to pass the support. I think that's a viable option but wasn't able to really find any info on homebrew Delrin or UHMW bearings that were fabricated in this manner. In respect to supports, the lateral movement along the longest axis of my mill (let's call it Y) would be similar, just fab some supports and maybe tap the rod to accept a bolt through the bottom of the table, through the support to hold it in place. Would a similar method work for the X and Z axis changing only the position of the bracing in regards to the nearest framed support?
