Now, can you tell me how damennCNC can sell the entire mount for a fraction of what a matched pair of bearings cost???
They may be in the Netherlands, about 18500kms away, but I can smell the BS from here!
If you were to get those mounts and then replace the bearings with genuine matched bearing pairs they'd be fine, but the non-matched bearings are substandard for the machine you are planning.
