Have we found a cheap solution yet for preventing radial bearings from eroding aluminum rails yet? I saw seemecnc has some but it's over 2 dollars per bearing!

Most bearings never touch the Vee rail
there are wheels in different materials on the bearings that run on aluminum/steel rails.

Perhaps getting a flat on wheel, if it stays in one place for a long time,
is more of a problem.

I think the only good solution so far is using wheels, generally plastic ones. Or use steel beam!
