    It's hard to say exactly what's happening, but no - don't keep damaging your rails if that's what's happening when you run the machine. It may not destroy your new bearings, but it certainly won't do them any good. It sounds like you're on a tight budget, so you probably can't afford to do any more harm to the expensive sliding rails at the heart of your machine, if you haven't destroyed them already.
