I would think that sliding friction would be less than with an entire rail seated on the keybed. Also, unless the rail is made out of very stable material, slighting preloading the rail with glide bolts may ensure that there is always contact between rail and keybed under all climatic conditions. Also, there's the fact that they make adjustment easier than sanding, sawing, planing, etc. Phil F
