                        <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>

<li style="list-style-type: none">
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none">

<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>

<p data-start="59" data-end="126">① <strong data-start="61" data-end="77">Reset Button</strong></p>
<p data-start="59" data-end="126">Press the reset button to restart the program.</p>
<p data-start="128" data-end="256">② <strong data-start="130" data-end="152">USB-to-Serial Chip</strong><br data-start="152" data-end="155" />This chip converts the data received from USB into serial data and sends it to the main control chip.</p>
<p data-start="258" data-end="503">③ <strong data-start="260" data-end="289">5V/2A Power Supply Module</strong><br data-start="289" data-end="292" />The power supply module provides power to the main board. It regulates an external <strong data-start="375" data-end="390">6–12V input</strong> to <strong data-start="394" data-end="409">5V/2A (10W)</strong> output, which can drive multiple servos, toy motors, micro linear sliders, and other devices.</p>
<p data-start="505" data-end="732">④ <strong data-start="507" data-end="533">6–9V Battery Connector</strong><br data-start="533" data-end="536" />A dedicated battery connector that can be connected to an <strong data-start="594" data-end="615">AA battery holder</strong> or <strong data-start="619" data-end="649">18650 lithium battery pack</strong>. This makes the development board easier to arrange when building mobile projects.</p>
<p data-start="734" data-end="806">⑤ <strong data-start="736" data-end="753">USB Interface</strong><br data-start="753" data-end="756" />Used for program downloading and USB power supply.</p>

When an external power supply is connected, the controller automatically disconnects USB power and switches to the external power source. When the external power is removed, it automatically switches back to USB power. This function protects the computer from interference caused by external power supplies connected to the development board.</p>
<p data-start="1488" data-end="1736">⑧ <strong data-start="1490" data-end="1509">Resettable Fuse</strong><br data-start="1509" data-end="1512" />If a short circuit occurs due to incorrect wiring on the development board, the fuse automatically disconnects the circuit between the board and the computer, protecting the computer’s USB port from damage or system crashes.</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>Some products in our store are categorized as “Standalone” products, which means they cannot be shipped together with other items due to packaging considerations. Since Canada is one of the largest countries in the world, shipping costs vary significantly depending on distance. For example, customers who are located closer to our warehouse should pay lower shipping fees. Currently, 3D printer filament, and filament dryer are assigned as a standalone product. If filament is added to your shopping cart, no other products can be added. Conversely, if other products are already in the cart, you will not be able to add filament and will receive an error notification. In fact, this approach helps reduce shipping costs for local customers.</span><br /><span>Under our current shipping policy, GTA customers receive the minimum shipping rate for filament orders. For example, shipping fee will stop increasing when purchasing 5 or 6 rolls of filament (depending on whether they are refill rolls or spool packs).</span></p>]]></content:encoded>
