Product Description
The PRL Series Precision Rails and PRC Series Carriers are easy to use, with a convenient dovetail rail design. The rail/carrier system is designed to provide maximum versatility in minimum table space. The rails are compatible with English or metric table hole patterns and are available in four different lengths. They are made from precision-machined anodized aluminum for excellent linearity and smooth carrier translation.
The carriers are also easy to use and may be removed or installed at any point on the rail. The aluminum carriers ride on extra-hard polymer pads, selected for low friction, resistance to cold flow, and long life. The overall nominal height of a carrier mounted on to a rail is 1.256 in. (31.9 mm). Convenient thumb-adjust lock knobs securely clamp the carriers in place anywhere on the rail.
