I am familiar with autopmotive and tractor bearings, however can not think of a bearing the size of the top of an English wheel.

It would seem if there were one that sized it would be as much or more than the cost of an English wheel considering how much bearings were when I purchased them for my trailer!On Monday, January 6, 2014 6:33:45 PM UTC-6, Clare wrote:

Interesting. just wish i had a lathe to macine the wheels



Then you end up with soft wheels - OK for aluminum, but problematic



for steel. The rollers need to be HARD. Which makes machining them on



the lathe a bit of fun.







For a SMALL english wheel, a self aligning ball bearing working



against a straight ball bearing works pretty well.



Where could I get such a ball bearing?

From any industrial bearing supplier, or possibly from your local

farm supply.
