Not only do they work smoothly, but they look cool too (you'll probably agree that pictures don't do them justice). The rails' cut/grounding is quite clean IMHO, even beter than I imagine.<br /><br />I can't imagine a better Christmas present :D (I didn't have to pay customs' fees! I guess they're too busy on the holidays and just let more packages through untouched)Walkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408668446136586380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756137234324004076.post-82567764062183801662009-12-30T00:04:24.486-05:002009-12-30T00:04:24.486-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Walkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408668446136586380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756137234324004076.post-14757558424508822262009-11-12T00:18:12.700-05:002009-11-12T00:18:12.700-05:00Yeah, it's pretty clear they just hit them wit...Yeah, it's pretty clear they just hit them with a chop-saw then ground the edges a little. Nothing really wrong with this, so I didn't think anything of it. In fact when I went to cut down a ball screw it was basically impossible to do with a bandsaw so I ended up doing the same. The rails and screws are case hardened, making them quite a bit harder than a saw blade. I'd consider this a good thing, really.Spivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510295596753094109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756137234324004076.post-29921689745886423112009-11-05T16:32:27.761-05:002009-11-05T16:32:27.761-05:00Today I ordered a 3 axis rails and bearings set (3...Today I ordered a 3 axis rails and bearings set (300/750/1000mm) from this same seller, I was a little reluctant but after googling for people's experiences (including yours) with this seller it seems they're quite careful with their shipments (I really hope the customs guys won't feel like sitting on my rails!). I did read that the rails aren't cut very carefully (not something that I care much about anyway), do your rails suffer from that problem?Walkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11408668446136586380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756137234324004076.post-64053892849329102982009-10-13T22:25:03.702-04:002009-10-13T22:25:03.702-04:00I intend to buy from the seller again, all in all ...I intend to buy from the seller again, all in all good experience and quality parts. Only down side is that they come from China so shipping time may not be predictable. Also my order went smoothly, which means I have no idea how he/she might handle things if there's ever a problem.Spivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510295596753094109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4756137234324004076.post-80589034797544657512009-10-07T17:10:06.401-04:002009-10-07T17:10:06.401-04:00I was thinking of buying parts from the same e-bay...I was thinking of buying parts from the same e-bay seller that you did.
