I'm planning an upgrage to my lathe and am trying to find those little ball bearing wheels I see on the high dollar rod wrapping machines. I know I've seen people talking about them on the website but can't seem to find anything using the search function. Can anyone give me a source for these? Also I'd like to pick up a couple of 16 rpm motors as well. Thanks in advance for the help.

Have you checked with the SPONSORS that are listed on the left side of the web page?

Fishsticks4U has motors that are close to 16 rpm for around $6. They also have parts for the Forecast wrapping machine and might have the wheels you want.

If you are adventerous, and have an airport with small plane repair facilities on the tarmac, ask about "timed out" phenolic control pulleys. they have a groove for the cable, and a ball bearing heart.
slap on an 0-ring, and Bob's yer uncle.
I get 10 of them here for a brown bag wrinkled on the top with a bottle of amber liquid inside...I think it was Johnny Walker, or maybe even Jack someone or other.......

I saw this posted here a while back - If this link only takes you to their homepage, once there search for "idler pulley with bearings"
[www.herbach.com] - same as above - just add the o-ring

[www.fishsticks4u.com] Has the wheels with rubber o-rings part # wrap11

Thanks Jerry. At Herbach's I found a small motor to build a dryer for my flies for less that $10.
