Yes, we sell rails with HIWIN specification. Our HIWIn spec rails are interchangeable with HIWIN brand rails.

Do you sell the HIWIN rail sections without guide blocks?

Hi. The HIWIN spec rail will fit standard M5 screws. If you are using non standard screws with wide heads, or pan heads that are a bit larger than a standard round heads, then it may not fit. Make sure to source screws that have standard round heads, or socket heads for fastening the 20mm HIWIN spec rails.

I purchased some of your 20mm Hiwin Linear Rails. M5 bolts do not fit flush. The head stands out. Is the spec sheet out of date? What bolts will fit this rail AND T Nuts compatible with 8020's 15 series extrusions? Thanks.

You can use grease, low-viscosity grease or oil. Your application may need to be considered.

Here is a document on the lubricating instructions from HIWIN:
https://www.hiwin.com/pdf/lubricating_instructions.pdf

Section 4 of this document relates specifically to the lubrication of linear guideways like the ones we carry.

Click the link to respond:
Have your 20mm rail and blocks. Is there a special grease that you recommend for the blocks or is general chassis lube OK?

You will want a grease that can be used in high temperature and heavy load situations also called high load bearing grease. A simple google search will yield many results from which to choose. We plan to carry this product in the near future (by the time you read this, we may already carry it).

We only have the HIWIN spec blocks with the flanges at this time. Are you looking for a high quantity, or just a few?

do you have hiwin blocks without flanges HGH20

Are you referring to this part?: https://www.buildyourcnc.com/item/mechanical-rails-linear-ball-bearing-block

Additional Information:
yes that block

Additional Information:
I created a drawing of the linear bearing guide block that shows the dimensions that you need for mounting. Specifically, the mounting spacing is 1.38 inches both axially and transversely.

You can see the drawing on the linear bearing guide block page here: https://www.buildyourcnc.com/item/mechanical-rails-linear-ball-bearing-block

Was there an opening in the tube upon arrival? Did the tube look like it was wrapped up by the shipper due to the damage that occurred? I am suspecting that the package was damaged by the shipper and the tube suffered an opening where the parts may have fallen out. Make sure to take many pictures of the damaged package condition so a claim can be generated.

Click the link to respond:
I recieved 2 hiwin linear rails in a tube with tape on it that says recieved in damaged condition. I got 2 rails 2 zerk fittings, no bearing blocks or lead screw. And technically I should have 2 more zerk fittings

Yes, our porter cable collets and nuts will fit the porter cable 7518.

The HIWIN rails come with the same flange blocks that are sold individually.

About your HIWIN rails. What Carriage block does the 78" rails come with, 2 flange or 2 with no flange?

It is best to use a subtractive fabrication method, or a chemical method to product pcbs. The subtractive method generally requires the use of a CNC router with a pcb isolation routing end mill that generally has a very sharp point to remove the copper material. The chemically etching method is where an acid is used (ferric chloride, or another acid) to dissolve copper where needed.

If there is a method where a highly conductive material, mixed with a plastic that maintains a conductive property after the mix, and can use the standard deposition extruder, then the whiteAnt will be able to make PCBs.

Hi, wanted to know if the whiteAnt can produce PCBs? If so, wich is the precision?

how do I order multiple lengths of HIWIN guide rail with blocks?

Yes, the blackTooth actually has a base that is open, so you can set the blackTooth laser cutter on a surface that is depressed as much as you need so you can accommodate a work piece with very large heights.

I'm considering the purchase of your Blacktooth laser. I will be engraving on my wood blocks that are two inches in thickness. Will the Blacktooth accomodate this thickness material?

I want to order 8 Hiwin Blocks. Is there a cheaper shipping option? $70 is too much for something that weighs less than 5 lbs. I live in the continental US.

Cutting aluminum is not a problem with our machines, as long as it is acquainted with a decent aluminum end mill and spindle, and the feedrates and speeds are being follow from the manufacture of the end mill.
Now to have a 3" cutting depth, it is possible even up to our smallest machine (blueChick). I would recommend our blackToe due to the fact that you will have a bit of playing room if any other projects or requests might arise.
