Ross,
Don't know about HiWin track - but I took some steel bar stock, aligned it, clamped it, then carefully drilled and tapped through each hole using allen cap machine screws that fit my track.
A lot of effort as you say, but it is one length of T-Nut like bar. The bolts were loosely fitted, and the track slid into the 8020. It was useful to tighten only some until I got the system square.
Your approach with many T-Nuts should offer the same set up - but a lot of work as you acknowledge. And it should work - IMHO.
Sorry no pics to offer and the ones in my gallery don't show it very well either.
Hope that helps.
:cheers: Jim
hmmm maybe that is something ahern could offer from his cnc store????
Experience is the BEST Teacher. Is that why it usually arrives in a shower of sparks, flash of light, loud bang, a cloud of smoke, AND -- a BILL to pay? You usually get it -- just after you need it.
