I want to mount a motor and blade on two rods like a cms slider.
Or a cart that rides on two rails and four bearings.
The bearings and the rods, what are they correctly called?
And bonus milk bones for links.

Eric,
Didn't you ever see "Young Frankenstein"?
"pardon me boy... is that the Transylvania Trolley...?"
Ya know, I've probably seen bits and parts of that movie, or seen it as a whole a hundred times.
I'm just not like the rest of the guys being able to recite the entrire script to the movie.
So they had linear slides in the movie? (;~)[email protected]

not what I'm doing but milkbone for trying.
Thanks.[email protected]

Search Ebay for linear bearings. Most of the stuff is quite expensive, and ridiculously high tolerance for construction sort of stuff, but there are some good buys there.

If you want to make a panel saw look at these.

What are you making?
I have a Felker 810 Tray Saw.
It's a wet saw for cutting tile and stone.
I have considered cannabalizing it and making a beam saw, alla, the saw head will travel over the table and material.
What I will likely do though, is replicate the current rolling table (v groove wheels on a metal track) but with some type of precision slide.
My friend has allready done it for me but for large format tile. The sled assembly he fabricated from 80/20 parts (Google it) is huge and removeable from the saw. Not exactly a linear slide although it uses guide block over metal extrusions.
I wish to create something a bit more compact and close in size to the original slide table that I can possibly mount permanently.
Two slides mounted to the saw with four pillow blocks mounted to a piece of Corian. It works like a crosscut sled.

Eric,
From your description what I am envisioning is almost the inverse of a Radial Arm saw. is that correct? Material moves under the saw rather than the saw moving over the material?
If so what advantage to it do you see?
No, it wants to make something like this.http://www.constructioncomplete.com/TileSaws21in36inCutting/ImerCombicut250VA.html.

Got it.
I was not carefully reading what Eric had posted. A re-read cleared it up . Thank You .

Bill, you are correct in that was an idea if I was to cannabalize the machine I own.
Not real hard to make with a few bits and peices of metal and a welder.
By the way, that is one sweet machine. I've seen it in person. WOW. At one point last year they were back ordered six months.[email protected]
It's Never Too Late To Become What You Might Have Been
It is how the saw is currently set up. Almost all "tray" saws are similiar in design.
A tray with four rollers beneath rolls along two tracks. Many however, are not very accurate in that they have a bit of sloppiness by design, that only worsens with normal wear and tear.
I have an old (30yrs +-) Felker Tray Saw. The basis of the machine is virtually indestructible, so much so that Felker still make parts for these and some older saws as well.
In my plan to refurbish the machine, a roller tray or roller replacement is in order. I have never been very happy with the innacuracy of the tray and roller design, and it varies depending on the source of these v groov wheels.
My friend borrowed the saw and made a frame from aluminum extrusion that sits on top of the saws water tray. He then fafricated a Coriian sled or carriage with bearing blocks that fit the aluminum rails and thus create a linear sliding tray. A cross cut sled if you will.
The Souter Sled as we have named it is way to big for portability in general and for most of the work I do with the saw. he was cutting I think 24" tiles.
So based on his idea, as well as many I have considered over the years, I wish to fabricate a new rail system and the bearing blocks that I can atatch to the bottom of a smaller piece of Corian or like material to make a more useful and removeable sled.
I've seen lots of way cool stuff looking around, much of it of accuracy and price that I just don't need.
I have also found much more economical parts and pieces that may be more suitable, including stuff from 80/20 witch is what he used to fabricate the Souter Sled.
