Re: THK Linear Bearing/Slide

I had the same impression when I went to use them. Moving by hand
they felt like they would stick when direction was reversed and just
didn't feel very easy to move overall. But I installed them anyway on
my machine and they are working like a champ. And they're being moved
around by a couple of little #17 steppers. So don't get too concerned
as long as they don't feel like they're binding.

Mike
