Tonight I didn't get much done. I try to get something done every night, so, I pushed myself to go out and do "something". I thought I could mill the oil galleys into my wood bearings. So I marked them out and did that\o/ More tomorrow.... |
| Darren:
Nice holes :thumbup: What's the wood and did you use a normal end mill? I ask cos I need to make some organisers myself .... :dremel: |
| Powder Keg:
Hey Darren, I'm using White Oak for my bearings. I used a flycutter to square them up. The end grain wanted to split out a little. Then I used a regular endmill to cut the pockets out. I marked the blocks with a pencil and plunged into the middle of the pocket to final depth. Then I just milled the pocket to the lines. |

Wes, Hard maple is the best choice for wood bearings. Two companies that make most of the wood bearings are Artguto and Woodex. Both use rock maple. Back in the 70's I worked for a conveyor company that got a large contract for a conveyor system. The contract stipulated a five year warranty for the conveyor rollers bearings. In order to ensure compliance the rollers were equipped with Arguto bearings. A side benefit was a much quitter system. Joe |
