Introduction
A boxed way is a type of linear slide. A linear slide is made of two things that can move freely in a line but not in any other way (ex. cannot bend or rotate or move along any other line).
The adhesive used between the ways and the base is #459-0087 - DP-190 Gray Scotch Weld. An adhesive is also used to bond the low friction bearing material to the saddle and that is #SBNS1763FC5OZ - Waylock 2-part adhesive.
