Recommended Velmex XSlide™ Cleat Placement
The XSlide™ Assembly base should be mounted with Velmex XMC-2 cleats to a reasonably flat surface. Inaccuracies and binding can result if mounted to non-flat surfaces. Mounting surface should be metal and have 6-32 UNC threaded holes with a minimum thread depth of 0.15”
Refer to the XSlide™ User’s Manual and the chart below for cleat placement. Use cleats in pairs with a pair 0.6” from each end to first mounting hole. All other cleats should be equally spaced between them. Use more cleats for heavy off-center (cantilever) loads and for more rigidity.
Attach cleats with Velmex XMB-1 bolts or equal grade 8 bolts. Start with bolts finger tight and then tighten bolts, progressively alternating sides and diagonals. Finish by tightening bolts to 17 in-lbs.
Thread locking compound (Loctite) is recommended for all mounting bolts.

XSlide™ mounted to a flat metal surface using the XMC-2 standard cleat adds support and stability while operating.
