Finally discovered basically all the problems with my not so true bearing wheels and today made the best set I've made so far. the problem i found today was in my drill press that i use to drill the initial hole. I checked the square on it and sure enough it was out of square just a little i squared the base with the chuck and wallah. when i turned the next set of wheels out they came out very smooth. I believe i have just about got it down now and moving in the right direction and it only took me about a 4ft piece of acrylic to figure it out.
oh well, with the next 4 ft i might be able to produce some very good bearing wheels. I was thinking the problem might have been in my lathe but what gave me the idea to check the drill press was the fact the SS wheels i turned on my lathe spun so smooth it didn't add up with it being in the lathe. man i am sure glad i got it panned out before i completely ran out of acrylic. thank you guys for all your compliments and helpful suggestions cause sometimes it seems the compliments help as much as the suggestions to keep you going when you are to the point of giving up and thinking of just settling with just mediocre. word of advise, never settle for mediocre always strive for perfection.
