Making Small Bushing Bearings
By Don Teach
Bearings are easy to make with a lathe and the proper reamers.
Turn the outside dimensions and then spot the center with spotting bit.
Drill the hole undersize and then follow with the proper size reamer.
I replace wood bearings with purpleheart wood or rosewood. I have not
tried Delrin. I don't know a machinist in Chicago but there has to be
dozens.
