Thank you for posting! Some comments say this has been done before. That may be true but I haven't seen it. Even though you showed how it worked in this video I didn't grasp the concept 100%. I would love to see a tutorial. Linear bearings are expensive. This looks like a solution for everyone no matter their skill set or budget.
I search now from internet and if you refer at gm.cnc.free.fr/CNC/rusticaplan_v6_en.pdf ... i can not find anything same with my cnc... what you find same? Really ... i do not hear about this plan... This type of slide is born in my head ... i not see anything else on internet... will be verry happy or sad :) if hear something about...and many things not find on internet and try to invented myself...
Boboaca Costel Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising you 😊 your machine is pretty good 😊 I was just saying the gmfc cutters & hybrids have been around for a while. I think your slides are probably much better than the originals 😊
nice. It looks like the belt provides tension to keep the gantry from racking. possibly another adjustable (essentric) bearing could be used instead. This would remove the necessity of belt tension to keep the gantry from racking (belt tension on one side of the gantry will vary as the gantry switches direction). just my theoretical thoughts. how did it perform in reality?
Thanks for your attention! But keep in mind that it is not rectified tube and with essentric bearing "fixed" appear problems ... ok... you can put a springs ...but idea is for a linear guide extremly simple !
yes ... is not 90 deg exactly ... but for my foam cut machine is good because i can rotate little the another axe ... so is not important to have exacty 90 deg...

this looks simple! Keep up the good work!!
This technique has been used for years on parallel bars of drafting tables.
Great Job. Looks simple enough. Thanks for sharing.
I guess it's kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good site to stream new series online?
@Dominick Levi i use flixzone. Just google for it =)
@Neil Konnor definitely, been watching on Flixzone for since april myself :D
@Neil Konnor Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it !
@Dominick Levi No problem =)
FANTASTIC !!!!!!
Been done years ago. A few french guys did bearings running on tubes & box sections too..
where? video?
Boboaca Costel Do a search on gmfc on google. La rustica plans v6 are from 2001...

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising you"...I understand!
The guide is not better , is only... economic and simple, not need adjustments!

primen kabare bro ?
Moving bar is defect....3 point is unstable.Mover bar can't 90 deg reflect to 2 slide.
This is wrong design
