Joe,
The ProLock worked very well.
It is a widely used system.

Re: K700S Power-Drive wont tilt
Thanks for the reply, David. ?I did not have to go that far...I took a peek inside the machine and noticed 3 switches (blade door, and 2 blade height switches) were covered in dust, so i blew them off and gave them a few presses. ?Then I tried the tilt and it started working. ?Here's the weird part...those 3 switches should not effect on the tilt. ?i even tried tilting the blade while the blade door is open and it still tilts. ?A gremlin i suppose...who knows. ?All I know is it has worked all day today!?

I listed it on Craigslist in Bend, Oregon ?The link is

It is such a versatile and handy machine I thought I
would continue to use it but that is not to be.? There
has been much discussion of the Rong FU RF45 on the FOG
over the years.? The RONG FU makes a great substitute
for a drill press and there is a woodworking drilling
table included that mounts in the Kurt vice so switching
from metal work to wood drilling and machining is very
quick.
I replaced the original single phase motor of this
machine with a three phase motor and a VFD for variable
speed.? I think there was discussion of how to do this
on the FOG when I did it.? The power feed for the x-axis
is very nice and the DRO for the X/Y axis and the z axis
really make the machine a joy to use.

Search out ¡°cross roller linear bearing¡± and you will find them. I would contact a large bearing house and ask, I suspect they will be able to get them for you. Here is a link to the THK website showing them, I assume you can get the rollers without having to buy the rails.??
Schneeberger is another good brand.

I am restoring a BF 6-41 and the sliding table bearings need to be replaced. ?Any suggestions on were I can source them? ?The bearings are cylindrical (6x8mm). I have included a picture of the bearings and associated housing. ?Thanks in advance for the help/suggestions.

I recently replaced the plastic carrier and all bearings on a newer (compared to 6 series ) K975. The bearings were little over a buck each from Felder. If you have not yet inquired availability with Felder, I would start there.
