While we're on this thread, I just got a load of linear bearings and
rails from Tianjin, China. I think they used SAE capscrews in metric
holes, and they forgot to deburr any of the standoff holes. Dem skruz
is fallin' out. Time to rework 'em while (wholly nondenominationally)
praying for the best.

Of all the things I would be sure not to buy from China, linear
bearings and rails are right at the top of the list.

That is, unless you're building an overhead gantry to hold beef
carcasses.

Stand back boys, it's raining Elsie!
