Guys, me and my "Jerry Rigging" ways have made a cheap and effective cork lathe ulitilzing an electric drill, few piece of wood and threadrod, and three garage door casters. I have plans on Microsoft Word for all interested. Email me and I will send an attachment. The previous dryer stand plans I posted worked for this, but the small diameter wheels and lightweight setup would probably not stand up over time. The total cost for TWO stands was probably $15, but got the garage door casters for free. I would say the best place to get these would be an installation company. May even get them for free. Be sure and get the plastic ones. The ones I used are ball-bearing ones by Stanley. The plans are four pages worth (displayed front and side views of drill support and stand) so be sure and look at all pages.
Email me direct and I will send them.

Elrod you could also try roller blade wheels they have ball bearings also and are easy to find. they should be able to take the abuse
