Upgrade to benchtop Y carriage using bright steel, bwc hardened rails with next size up rollers (way smooth), custom holddowns (at 45 deg) and oil wipers
I've got the stuff to do the gantry carriage as well (and the Z), but it was the moving work platform that really needed attention (with teeny wheels only 300mm appart). I was truly impressed by the improved ride for having hardened rails.

Ed, thanks for the excellent series of photos. I'm a PR owner, and I'm trying to decide whether to use BWC rails or install Hiwin linear rails.
How much do your BWC rails cost?
Thanks
