Greetings!
First, I have zero lathe experience. I need to make these 3 "U" wheels out of delrin. The stock is 12" by 2.25" round stock.
Basically
1) 14mm bore
2) Need a pocket for a 6001zz bearing on both sides of the wheel. 6001zz (28mm x 8mm deep)
3) The wheel is 47mm wide
4) most important there is a 25mm concave radius.
These wheel are designed to ride up a 50mm round aluminum truss corner.
I'm in San Diego and asked a guy who does manual milling etc, and he declined making them saying :
"the problem would be they would need to be CNCd due to the counter bores on each end. once the radius is cut I won't have any way to grip the wheel in the chuck to counter bore the second side."
So now I'm on my own. I need to make 3-4 of these wheels to finish my project.
To those experienced people here could you tell me the steps you would do to turn these?
Much Appreciated
Max
