                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Linear guideways</strong> (or <strong>linear rails</strong>) are essential components in most CNC machines, 3D printers, and motion system DIY projects. This article outlines the steps and explains how to order the right linear guideway and its accessories.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Product Brands</strong>:<br />Currently, we offer two types of linear guideways on our website: <strong>HIWIN</strong> and <strong>Non-HIWIN</strong> (Compatible, Generic). HIWIN products and their accessories are typically regarded as high-quality, precision components, often used in motion systems requiring high reliability and accuracy. Non-HIWIN (compatible) products are more popular with DIY users due to their relatively lower price and decent quality. If you're a first-time buyer or new to DIY projects, Non-HIWIN products might be a better choice, as their models, sizes, and specifications are identical to HIWIN’s.</li>
<li><strong>Sliding Block (Bearing Block)</strong>:<br />The sliding block (bearing block) is often considered a consumable part, especially the non-HIWIN bearing blocks. If it’s used in a high-frequency motion system, we recommend considering a design that allows for easy replacement. If there are no budget concerns, obviously, the HIWIN brand of bearing blocks is the recommended choice.</li>
<li><strong>Product Bundling</strong>:<br />For all of our linear guideway products (except bundle items), the guide rail and bearing block are sold separately, regardless of the product image. This gives customers more flexibility to choose whether or not to include the bearing blocks or simply replace them.</li>
<li><strong>Customizable Length</strong>:<br />The length of the linear guideway is customizable. We list and price it per centimeter. Simply input the desired length (in cm) in the quantity box when adding to your shopping cart. Please refer Custom Length: <a href="https://diycnc.ca/?p=11894" data-type="link" data-id="https://diycnc.ca/?p=11894">https://diycnc.ca/?p=11894</a></li>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><strong>Important Notice: </strong> <span style="color: red">Due to frequent changes in processing fees, transportation costs, and customs duties, we currently accept custom length metal products (Aluminum Extrusion, Linear Rail, Ball Screw etc.) only from registered users. This allows suppliers of customized products to review the latest costs and shipping fees and attach an adjuestment under your account, the user can decide whether to accept or reject the extra fee to continue or cancel the order. You may also contact us before placing your order if your cart contains a custom length metal product.</span></div>
<p>Custom lengths may apply to products such as <strong>aluminum extrusions</strong>, <strong>linear rails,</strong> <strong>linear rods</strong>, <strong>ball screws, etc.</strong></p>
<div>There are several reasons you may consider the custom length:</div>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none">
<ul>
<li>You buy what exact you need to save your cost and time;</li>
<li>Saving shipping cost. (Longer merchandises may cost higher shipping fee);</li>
<li>Professional cut by manufacture (if shipped from manufacture directly (*)</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<div>Customize length (any length other than listing, normally 100cm and 40 inch):</div>
<p>(Notes: the maximum length is <strong>200cm(~79 inch)</strong> for Aluminum Extrusion, Ball Screw, Lead Screw, Linear Screw, Linear Rods etc. Any length longer than 200 cm (up to 6 meters / 600 cm per single piece), we will need to provide a special quote based on your location and quantity.  Wire, Timing Belt, Cable Chain are not in this category)</p>
<p>There are two types customizing length products: Length as Qty and Length Range.</p>
<p><strong>Length as Quantity</strong></p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none">
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none">
<ul>
<li>Select Per CM (One Centimeter) Option. Single CM (Centimeter) option is the minimal unit of the customization length.</li>
<li>Input total length (units per-cm). For example, if you need 160cm:</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<div><img class="aligncenter" style="margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width: 600px" src="https://diycnc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/custom-length.png" alt="" /></div>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none">
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none">
<ul>

<ul>
<li>If you need multiple same custom length items, add multiple times one by one. Your shopping cart will look this:</li>

<li>Any custom-cut length may result in a tolerance. The cutting tolerance of aluminum profiles can reach up to the thickness of the cutting saw blade. If you have specific accuracy requirements, please indicate them in the 'Order Notes' when checking out.</li>
<li>All custom length cuts, mechanical operations, or transportation may cause scratches, dents, or wear on anodized, sandblasted, or other metal or non-metal surface finishes. Unless specifically noted in the ‘Order Notes’, these normal occurrences during processing will not be considered valid reasons for after-sales service.</li>
<li>All cutting and other mechanical operations may produce metal shavings, debris, and sharp metal edges. Please handle with extra care upon receiving the goods.</li>
