Martyn, I think they probably do but the size :roll: :roll: the surrounding ring has to be finite.
So if you have a damn great 2" wheel coming in from 3 directions it doesn't leave much room inside them for the work.
This was the dilemma I had until I came with these B&D wheels.
It took a long while searching the internet for wheels. No one seems to make them that small!
edit: It just occurred to me with wheels that size how would you attach them to the arms.
My first model had flat steel bars and they flexed. NO GOOD. so 10mm square. :lol:

Ok, back to the drawing board.
Can you give me the part no. for the b&d wheels?
Sorry I have hijacked your thread, the mills look great and as it happens I have just got some grinder mechs in to do a couple. Haven't done mills for years. Like the idea of laminating up to make some.
On another subject I got a lot of pics some from a couple of years ago before digi taken on my old SLR. Is it possible to scan these in to photobucket do you know?

Hi Guys,
For the wheels, how about using small bearings with the outside covered in heatshrink tubing? I have some that are about 12 mm with a 3mm centre hole.

Martyn,
If your scanner scans photographs and I don't know any that don't.
You can scan them into your PC. Once there it's a simple matter to upload them into photobucket. (Suggest opening a folder on the desktop, put them all there easy to find.)
Mike,
That sounds like a seriously good idea. I'm not sure if heat shrink rubber tube retains its, rubber-ness so to speak. With friction, the heat build-up may alter or split the rubber. Certainly worth a try.
What would you use for an axle?

With the heat shrink in mind I have been looking at these

Not sure of the sizes so I will contact him.
Other R/C sites have wheels and tyres so that might be worth a try.
Not into R/C cars but there must be some form of axle.

I prefer tape guides from a scrapped video recorder for a small steady. Got this tip from a friend with a job in repairing electronics.
Great peppermill John! As it happens I am just working on some peppermills in rosewood and maple.
I will borrow your idea for a long hole boring jig. Thanks,
Hans

Hans, I just love your mill. It has grace and elegance.
Really nice =D> =D> =D> =D>
You're welcome on the jig. I clamp the work on both sides, it pulls the work into the two uprights.
I think the hardest part is to ensure the table is at right angles to the drill.

Very elegant Hans. Been a while since we saw any of your work. This is different ang modern looking. Like the squarer base

FWIW, the steady that Tyme used to make for the Avon used "naked" ballraces on the ends of the fingers. Worked fine, except on one occasion when they limited the diameter just too much. Made some round ended lignum fingers instead, which gave an extra centimetre or so diameter and they worked fine too.
