I am looking to find the little plastic pulley wheels with bearings ( I think that is what they are ) such as the ones on the pac bay lathe. Has anyone found a source for these? I am trying to build a better mousetrap or rod lathe in this case and need to find these.
Thanks Steve Re: Rod Supports

Visit a hobby shop and look at the selection of model airplane wheels. Re: Rod Supports

They have a 2 different sizes at my local hardware store and a larger selection at the nearest Menards (big box home improvement store for those of you not in the upper midwest). Re: Rod Supports

I was at Home Depot yesterday and they had nylon wheels with metal ball bearing hubs in the cabinet hardware section. These are used for replacements on sliding glass doors and are pretty heavy duty.
You would need to find some appropriate sized o-rings to fit in the grooves. They have a .25" hole and are ~1.25" in diameter. Walt Re: Rod Supports
