Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re, UHMW Linear Track

You can make pretty snug guides with it that last quite a while. But
they need pretty big bearing surface to last if not they loose there
shape (kind of crawling!) or they wear out fast and you get nasty
vibrations. Best you construct the guides with thin walled layers of
UHMW backed up with metal and readjustable or selfadjusting. In certain
factory I used to make fixture guides out of UHMW tape. It worked very
well and later you just changed the tape. and go agian for it.
Good luck
