I got a really good deal on 2 hsr45 rails with 2 bearings for each. I'm thinking about using them for my cnc router build , do you guys think this is a bad idea, they won't be used on the moving gantry only on the frame part.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Mike

Re: 4x4 CNC Router build. 45hsr rails?
They may have more friction / require more motor torque. Depends partly on the preload.
I would happily use them for a router.
(I would go and pay lots of $$ as they are overkill but you already said you got them cheap)7xCNC.com - CNC info for the minilathe (7x10, 7x12, 7x14, 7x16)
