i'm fortunate to have a Chopco slider upgrade.
i think this would be worthwhile to explore if the rails are opening up from the original installation/drawing dimensions.
i think larry's vertical support failure was a combination of overtightnening of the belts, no washer under the nut, and perhaps a bur developed and propagated into a crack. washers are there to be the load bearing surface and keep the fretting/friction damage from the loaded structure/assembly.
