How do I install a ball guide correctly in my home workshop?
If you want to install a ball bearing slide in your home workshop, follow these steps:
- First, you need to select the right ball bearing slide for your project. Consider how much weight the slide should carry and how long the extension travel should be.
- After selecting the right slide, measure exactly where it should be mounted and mark these spots.
- You can now attach the ball bearing slide at the marked positions. Start with just a few screws to check the fit.
- If you are satisfied with the position of the ball bearing slide, install all remaining screws. Make sure the screws are tightened securely - if the slide can come loose, it will not function properly.
- Now you can insert the drawer body. Here too, you should first use only a few screws to check the position.
- If the position of the drawer body is correct, you can attach all remaining screws and complete the installation.
By carefully following these steps, you ensure that your installed ball bearing slide works correctly and reliably over time.
