This was a project to upgrade all X-Y and Z-Axis Linear Rails, replacing the originally installed round SBR16 rails with genuine HIWIN HG20 and HG16 Square rails. It was about 6 months in the planning to do it in a way that the HIWIN rails would seamlessly replace the round rails avoiding any other other structural machine modifications. The results were more satisfying than I expected. The video also concludes with a brief overview segment of my CNC as it is today.
If anyone would like to see more in depth details about my CNC and how I use it please make a comment below.
There are also other videos on this channel from the first one on building the router along with others relating to the various significant upgrades and updates during its life to date.
