ReliaBot 2PCs 8mm x 150mm (.315 x 5.9 inches) Case Hardened Chrome Plated Linear Motion Rod Shaft Guide - Metric h8 Tolerance

I have tested several rods using a dial indicator to check for straightness. I use the HF digital dial indicator on a magnetic stand. The key to getting consistent results is to have a follower that rides on top of the rod so that minor xy position error does not affect the dial indicator reading. I use a piece of glass as it provides a perfectly flat surface to the rod. Good stock rods are typically <0.05mm out of round. Unfortunately one of my boxes was damaged in shipping, but one of the rods was undamaged. It measured better than 0.01mm!. The second set of rods arrived in perfect condition with high denisty foam separating the rods and protecting them from the box at 5 different points. Customer service was excellent for the damaged box. I will update when I get a chance to test the second set of rods

Used these to build a rock tumbler. Couple 3D printed pulleys and a little welded frame and it was running in no time.

Bought these to replace the awful rods that came with the Anet A8 plus. Great straightness and surface finish. Worked very well and do not any grooves where the rolling elements make contact after 100h like the Anet rods did.

I got these to make a Space Derby winder for my Cub Scout pack, and I was thinking that I'd be able to drill some holes into them. How naive I was. These things are ridiculously hard. I picked up some cobalt drill bits that claimed to be good for cutting through hard metals, and they can barely scratch the surface on these rods. I've got a buddy who's a machinist and he has some carbide end mills we're going to try.Suffice it to say that if you want these to be perfectly round, perfectly straight, and impervious to anything you throw at them, you're going to be pleased. If you had any plans about cutting into them with normal tools, you'll be disappointed.

Needed to replace the 2 “Y” axis rods on my Prusa i3 mk2s. Out of the box these rods are smoother than the ones Prusa uses. Upon further inspection, I noticed when placed on a perfectly flat surface these rods are slightly bowed, although not by much. The stock rods that Prusa uses were 99.9% straight. Overall these new rods work fine.

These were perfect for my project, which is a custom start gate for a Pinewood Derby track. Both rods were perfectly straight. They cut easily with my chop saw and a 7" diamond metal cutting blade. Dimensions were as advertised. Shipped promptly and arrived on time.

Many of the reviews talked of bent rods but mine were perfectly straight and absolutely smooth. The diameter was precisely 8mm, pretty much all you could ask for.

As usual they are a few thou under sized...

Nice and straight. Sorted my printer out a treat

I've built a custom 3d printer with it. Very happy, the quality is great.

Fast delivery and a great product that fitted perfect

Salve,comprate e montate queste barre per una cnc. Che dire fanno il loro dovere sono moto ben rifinite i cuscinetti scorrono molto bene . Le consiglio !!!

Die Originalwellen sind ein graus und nach dem Austausch mit neuen Lagern läuft die Y Achse besser
