    What screws do I need to buy to attach C-Beam End Mounts to a 1500mm C-Beam Linear Rail? I just need the rail, the end mounts, the normal C-Beam Gantry Kit, and the screws. Should I get a bag of low profile M5 15mm screws or?

    Would anyone happen to know how much the C-Beam Gantry Kit weights? (Without the anti-backlash nut) or the 1500mm C-Beam Linear Rail by itself for that matter?

    If anyone knows the answers that would be really great thank you for any help.

    You need (4) M5 x 20mm screws for each C-Beam end plate.

    A C-Beam gantry with 4 wheels and no nut-block comes in at around 0.66lb (.3kg).

    A 250mm chunk of C-Beam comes in around 1.10lb (.5kg) so by extension, a 1500mm piece should come in around 6.6lb (3.0kg).
