so, not go much done today. I have designed my bearing block and motor mount (in my head) using what I have lying around.

the skate bearings OD just happens to be 22mm, which I have that size in a spade bit. 22mm counter bore in two bits of MDF, with 16mm through bore for the nut and screw clearance, and I have two halves of a fully encapsulated bearing block ... simples :)

I'll make the real one from birch ply. One half I will mount to my Z plate, the other half to my motor mount. They will be bolted together, so they can be split any time, to get at the bearing if I need to.

That's the general idea anyhow :)







I'll try and get that together over the weekend. Then it's just a router mount I guess, and then some cutting :D
