Hi Joe,
Do you (or anyone else following this thread) have any experience with using oil impregnated bronze bearings as slider bearings? I see you made yours out of what looks like HDPE, I have seen some people make them out of wood (which doesn't seem like it will make a very good bearing to me). McMAster-Carr sells the oil impregnated bronze for about $5 each (though they have some going as high as $30 if you want them to have grease grooves cut in them. |
