Title: Router sled rollers
Post by: Mystang89 on January 18, 2025, 04:49:14 PM
Hello, I found this post for a router sled https://www.lumberjocks.com/threads/router-jig-for-flattening.360819/

and the first post from Ljohnsaw caught my eye. Does anyone know where I can find the wheels he's using for his sled?

Greetings from Nova Scotia.

They look like sliding door rollers to me, a easy find at a hardware or building supply store.

If you post in that thread John would be more likely to see it and reply.

Thanks. I hadn't done that since some of the sites I've been on don't like posting on old threads but if it's ok here then I'll go to that post.

I bought 8 steel V Groove wheels sealed ball bearings w/ 3/8" hole off of ebay for $118.00.  They were for my CNC machine.  Best price for the size I wanted.

These will roll on simple angle iron and not wear out.
