Given the speed and movement needed secondhand truck or trailer bearings would be ok.
Truck mechanics would be a good place to look. I can measure /find /send some if you like.

Hi Whitey56,
We used to convert Ford 10 stud rims (cheap) with a flat chamfer to a curved chamfer to fit Mercedes (expensive) witha tool like this driven by ahand held 1/2" drill.If i can find it...

A mate of mine got his lathe from Paramount Browns.When he asked about buying a spare compound slide (because he wanted to modify his) he was told to try Hare and Forbes as we don't sell spare parts....

I was going to suggest CO2 from a home brew shop but that won't do what you want.
John

Gringo,which gas are you looking for and what type of welding
John.

Have been cutting today and have cut 25 to 30 ft.

I had not been turning the taps on far enough.

Joe,I only used the worm and wheel out of the slack adjuster. The housing was fabricated from 2 bits of pipe and the ends and
bearings of an ej holden diff.
John

I have two different sets
First set has a 10 tooth spline on a 1.5" shaft ratio is 21:1
Second set 28 tooth spline 1.5" shaft ratio is 26:1
As can be seen they come in imperial or metric lengths...

The thin tin sides wear off or come loose or the lock fails.Shafts are called s cams or camshafts. They are about 1 1/2" diameter and18"long.These are trailer ones but there
are others off trucks...

I used a cheap blade which used to"catch" and a brobo that worked well.
I think the brobo had "set" on the teeth.Coolant/Lubricant probably would have helped.

Neither can I but it would have been pic 5 if I had posted the rest:doh:
John

Have built one.The worm and wheel are out of a truck brake slack adjuster.I think the blade can be up to 10 inch.Pic 5 shows the method I used to adjust the blade to cut
straight and square.No...
