One thing left out of this discussion, starting with myself is that
all linear bearing builders recommend that the linear guide be
installed against a shoulder. the reason for this is that the rail
it's self is not inherently straight (rigid), out of the box. by
placing the rail against a shoulder and using wedges,setscrews or
dowels under a countersunk bolt to press the rail against the
shoulder, you acheive good straightness.
