Re: All bearing Y axis conversion

If anyone wants to give the 6.35x15x5 bearings a shot I just made this Pillow Block to accommodate that size.

Re: All bearing Y axis conversion

after converting to the all bearing mod i noticed i loosened my belts and even the Y looped belt, now its snug but dosent pull down on the shaft. i dont have a need for the pillow block!  its not rubbing on the ne antibacklash nut either.  this is one of my favorite mods! right up there with the ACME screw
