> Neither, of our 5x10 routers have any support on the long table screws (12 ft long). But they are large diameter screws, secured, fixed and stretched in position with a rotating nut moving the table. I think rotating the nut rather than the screw helps a lot with wip. The rotating nut and fixed screw totally eliminates the dynamic problem. But bearings and driving a conventional nut is (as mentioned before) not straightforward. The phenomenon is often referred to as "critical speed" and "whirling".
