Re: pic: Linear bearing rails: the Cheesy RAWC way

Tolerances...

The Poof frame is welded, heat-treated, and then powder coated. And yet when it all goes together the bearings rest perfectly on either side of tubing. Amazing? I think so...

They probably took into acount how much the frame would expand and contract after each process to get it that perfect. Having welded an elevator myself this season, I fully appreciate that kind of craftsmanship.
