LOL you couldn't just say bearings?

[Matthiaswandel]

Ball bearings are the whole enclosed bearings. Just because most people get it wrong doesn't mean I have to be.

I imagine these don't play well with dust. Any experience with long term use of these slides?

[Matthiaswandel]

So far, after 18 months in my slot mortiser, no issues.

[ironlionkalo]

what machine is that for?

[Matthiaswandel]

More on that in a few weeks...

I've said this before, and I don't mind repeating: part of Matthias' artistry is his video production. Because his woodworking skills are so terrific, his video production tends to go unnoticed.

@NOLAMarathon2010 I love his videos. He assumes your intelligent so he doesnt waste your time with pointless crap. He gets straight to the point and its rare on youtube.

@Matthiaswandel Wel, he didn't say "ball" bearings, he just said bearings, wich is a correct statement.

I used these in my projects

[killersoundz]

Could one use these for a small CNC machine you think?

[TrentR42]

Nice to see you do some metal work too.

How difficult is it to learn to say "Out" properly?
