Probably not necessary, try to see other types of motion suport,
probably cheapper, like the ones that torchmate uses (for X axis), or
others that use parallel steel with rounded bearings. But, the linear
bearings like NSK or so, are very good and also very expensive.
Probably they don't exist for larger tables. What size is yours ?

Where ? in Europe ? I'm also interested to know. I've buyed from the
USA because of the prices in Europe.
