V-bearings in UK please help me choose

[andycorleone]

Hi, finally I think I will go for the v bearing route but not sure which one chose?

http://www.euro-bearings.com/veesizes.htm



EV W1 diamter is 19.56mm
EV W2 diamter is 30.73mm

they cost about £12-£19 each

are those the cheapes option I can Buy?

if I'm only use them for X and Y will be about £112 GBP or £175 + the aluminium angles which will be about £40 in so the total will be about £152-£215

at those prices make me wonder again why not go for the suppoted rail route



+



the suported rails diamters are 16mm Which for the x will be £130 and the the Y axis £91 total £221

EVW2 series is the size bearing used on the Joes's 4X4. SInce I dont know what size you are planning that will do it for a mid range router.

Hi Andycornleone

Go with the supported rails the unsurpported rails will deflect between .012to .025 over a 36" length this is on the 19mm rail you have picked the 30mm rail will be less but it still will deflect. This to depends on the quality of the rail as to how much deflection you get as well
