Just wondering if anyone replaced the three rail/block assemblies with something better than what came with the FT-5? If so, what model and price. I don't want to pay an astromonical amount, but don't want to go cheep with hiwin knock-offs. A max of $150 for a full set of direct replacements would be fine.

I couple of years ago I replaced the ball bearings in all three blocks, but it has gotten noisy and slightly binding again in spite of maintenance.

Not even sure if this site is active with FT-5 users.

thanks.

I have 2 FT-5 R1's and 1 FT-6

I think some of the people in the FB group upgraded to the Zylech rails. Mine seem like they are always full of orange gunk when I clean them

This is what was suggested
