Bandsaw 5 – Skateboard bearings

I need some bearings for the blade guides and fortuitously came across a skateboard (kids grown up & left home) while putting stuff out for our annual council clean up – nice.

Skateboards have 2 bearings per wheel so I now have a set of eight.

So how many do I need?



Two bearings for upper and lower blade guides = 4.

Two bearings for upper and lower blade thrust = 4

That worked out well.. back soon.
