Back [21:10:25]<rue_bed2> hi kat
[21:10:52]<rue_bed2> do you have ideas to make good cnc sliders?
[21:11:28]<katsmeow> steel drawer slides?
[21:11:49]<katsmeow> haven'ty u make dozens of slides with bearings?
[21:11:50]<rue_bed2> how about more towards a metal capable cnc
[21:12:10]<rue_bed2> like to do something closer to a heavy dovetail
[21:12:39]<rue_bed2> atleast an angle bar with plastic slide bushings
[21:13:02]<katsmeow> start with heavy square tubing, use angle as sliders, bore for pumped grease or oil
[21:13:24]<rue_bed2> square tube!
[21:14:16]<rue_bed2> I was trying to find some cold rolled flatbar today
[21:14:18]<rue_bed2> nope.
[21:14:34]<rue_bed2> ok, I know
[21:14:40]<rue_bed2> IIIIII know...
[21:14:49]<rue_bed2> ugh, its an hour of driving
[21:15:21]<katsmeow> flat bar isn't ging to lay flat, really
[21:15:40]<katsmeow> you'll haveto adjust it every few inches, even if it's 1/4 thick
[21:16:02]<katsmeow> the square tube you can lay flay and the sliders on it will stay centered on it
