Re: Linear slides

A great solution is the Item linear slides. If your already using item extruded, you simply put the nylon sliders into the extruded and away you go. We did this in 2004, and it worked great. We got completely flipped up off the bar and fell to the ground, but our mast had no problem performing the naxt match. Item also sells some nicer, bearing/rail type carriage stuff too, although I have no experience with that.
