I'm building a small CNC. Moving bed X axis, moving tool Y axis.
I got these linear bearings at a thrift store yesterday: http://ift.tt/1cmcOef
I think they're from a refrigerator drawer that was made to perfectly fit around the rails.
I don't have enough faith in my welding abilities to tack on bolts without warping the metal, and I can't drill holes in it for bolts as it would likely result in ruining the bearing's smooth slide all together. I have "clip clamps" (pictured) but they would not likely hold tight enough without cranking them down to the point of compressing the slide.
There's a hook on the top left and a little nub on the far right (away from the camera). There's a hole on the inside right side.
This will be attached to a wood frame (the one in the picture).
What would you do?
