    Where to buy Vee Wheels

    I have a couple of projects working and they all need Vee Wheels. I've recently ordered some through a bearing house and they ordered them from Bishop Wiscarver... That's what not to do.... they were super expensive.

    I did a bunch of searching and found two suppliers for about 1/4 of the cost....!

    Ordered some from PCB Linear... Good price but they are so SLOOOWWWW... it will take about a month before I see them. It took almost a week just to get an order placed...

    There was another supplier that was about the same price as PCB but I can't find my damn notes..

    Anyone have a good supplier for vee wheels and rails?

    Thanks for the help.

    Depending on the size the ones from cadcamcadcam.com may work. You can also try vxb bearings but they only sell the wheels not the rails.

    Called all these guys today....
    VXB only has a select few sizes... Mainly the #2 size..
    cadcamcadcam only one size the #2

    BUT Superior Bearing Co.... That was a good find. They have all sizes, bushings, studs, rails any way you want them and super good prices. They said they would cut the rails (no charge) I need 20, one foot long pieces!

    And said it would only take two work days to cut the pieces and process the order. Can't ask for more than that!!

    The sales rep told me they Bishop Wisecarver buys the wheels cheaper than Superior and sell them for 4 TIMES MORE.... Not to mention the higher cost on all the other parts. That's just a crime.

    Bill, thank you for taking the time..

    I did find one other place: Lee Linear. They have all the pieces and parts but never called them after I had such a good conversation with Superior.
