I have a rcbs Dail o grain scales I want to tune up shortly. Would like to replace the 4 aggregate bearings with new ones. Son in law dropped it and 1 is missing. Is there any where I can get them or the material to make them. Wondering it tungsten carbide would work, be a pain to machine but I have it available.
Im also planning on making a balance type scales that uses check weights on one side and pan on the other. This is a project just for grins and giggles.
Finding the bearing material pr bearings is the big thing. Not nearly as much with the second as I can make the mounts or them to fit what I have. I believe the carbide will work fairly well and I have several 6" strips on the way
All opinions and ideas are welcomed and appreciated
