Its not that the wood gets loose, its a number of factors, Probably wood compression and moisture movement issue, along with bearing issues. I purchased the rail bearing assemble from cncrouterparts, and while they are fine for a hobby mill, I find that they need to be tightened every 100 hours or so. Also, trash ends up running on the bearing surface. Perhaps my sights are set too high here, but I have looked at this - http://www.ebay.com/itm/261855407885 - as well, but it looks a bit flimsy on the X axis to me. Also, how ever do you get the thing from twisting? I find it hard to understand how you weld up your own frame and get it flat and square, unless you have the right tools to do so. I cut a lot of 12"x12" material into little pieces, so flatness and rigidity is quite important to me. I want to stick a piece of material on the bed and be able to have the part heights come out within 3 thousanths or so, assuming the material has a flat bottom.
