Wouldn't that lose Y travel?

How recent? I ordered these from KabelSchlepp at the end of August.

Y axis: 0130.15KR37 x 34 Links + FA/MA
X axis: 0130.10KR20 x 50 Links + FA/MI

I haven't installed the Y axis yet, but the X is only 7 cm above the gantry rail.


I was under the impression you can't order direct any longer - I submitted a request for a quote and they want you to look up a distributor and purchase from them, which is kind of the reason for this post - looking for a good online source that I can just order from and not fool with hunting down a place to get it. So if anyone has that souce - link and a part number of one that we know works - I and others would greatly appreciate it!

I buy carriers from these folks and have been very happy - Ships from USA so faster than the Chinese and not all that much more $$. I bought larger ones for my CNC Router but they have various sizes.

I ended up getting my Cable Carrier from Motion Industries - Here in Houston, Price was not bad $25.65 with the ends. I purchased the specified Part No. O130.1OKR20X5OLINKS + FA/MA if you need the site it is http://www.motionindustries.com/motion3/jsp/mii/index.html Hope this helps anyone looking. I'll post photos as soon as it arrives.

Andy at Ugra is awesome. He sold me my 2.2kw electrospindle. He is a super cool guy. An asset to the DIY CNC world for sure.

Here are the nanolinks. Kind cheap, not the best smoothest motion, friction fit around pretty good plastic posts but not always the best. might get better with use. Good support for its size. Hey - Its $2.99 what do you want :)
