[T3] Holy Grail
In replacement of plastic runners, a material known as UHMW (ultra high
molecular weight) plastic, sometimes mistaken for Teflon, can be purchased
from mechanical supply companies that carry bearings and material handling
equipment. This stuff I have used on very large and heavy conveyers. It is
easy to work with and comes in many sizes. This stuff can be cut, drilled
and countersunk for attachment to the rail slides. Best of all it requires
no lubrication - this stuff is slick!
