I haven't bought them yet. I saw them at "Hornbach" - a huge german
hardware store that opened an outlet near I live some months ago.
These slides are VERY precise. I was honestly surprized. There is
absolutely NO PLAY in them. They are not made with ball bearings. The
balls are placed along the inner part of the slide. They were not that
big though. Does not matter cause I intend to process boards which are
sized 160 x 200 cm (~64 x 80"). I'm focusing on creating a DRILLING
machine. I don't need milling - remember, I'm the guy with the
meanwhile perfectly working home brew through plating machine (side
note, I completed my first four layer board two weeks ago. It's really
MUCH fun). I will see what I can do. Maybe I take a camera with me
next time I go to that store...
