Machining a new set of ball bearing rollers for a Lathe steady rest . 

Thanks rusty

Each version has its place . It works awesome for mildly abrasive fast spinning parts. Thank.you

Yes your right. I think both have there place. That's why I kept the old ones to repair :)

Thanks roscoe ! Hey whens your next video .

@@Wrighmachining video coming soon, just got some honeydews to take care of first.

Thanks, Chris glad you liked it, I just have to figure out how to freshen up the old brass ones now :)

3-D printed , the unimat is a smaller lathe , should work if its a tight fit an low pressure . Good thinking . Let me know how it goes . Did you print the part on its side so the grain structure is long ways or bottom up on end ?

Thanks Nick

Thanks trapper

To do the build I just ordered Cheap roller Bearings. however being that bearings standardizes I can always upgrade to a better quality bearing any time I want. I probably will now that we've had this conversation, because I totally forgot that they were cheap :) bearings. Thank you . The bearings I'm using are 608 - 2RS - C3 from from PGN bearing and it was a 10 pack off ebay i think. They where reasonably priced and bought them cheap because i wasnt sure if they would be the right size. Hope this helps

@@Wrighmachining It does thankyou. I got a brand new Precision mathews lathe and knee mill showing up in the next couple of weeks so I'm lining up my projects..:). Believe it or not I'm cheap too!

Pretty exciting stuff . Do you have a youtube channel ? ... can you post a link of the machine delivery for us :)

@@Wrighmachining Well I do but I only have aerobatic videos on it ATM. I'm assuming I can video with my cell phone?

Totally just ( if it's Convenient) Grab it with your cell phone and just upload it to youtube from your phone and throw the link up here. If you don't want it to interfere with your Other videos mark it as unlisted. Thanks, Frank

That makes sense , thanks mid engineering
