Are we there yet ?!

Alright settle down.I wouldn't usually be asking,but i'm out the country in a couple of weeks,so would be nice to have a rough idea as to timescales,so i can make arrangements if needed.

I bet you all are dying to know as well anyway :ner:

I'm willing to bet 5/6 weeks from start of manufacture + (whatever is req) shipping time.
Before Christmas should be about right ? :grouphug:

This is why i'm asking,i'm not sure when he started making them!

Hi Folks,
I was going to post an update today, but you all beat me to it.
I have completed the machining of all the Brass housings from the blanks and they have already been delivered to my toolmakers for honing to match the shafts.
The shafts are in the process of being rough machined before precision grinding, Gas Nitriding and polishing.
I am hoping I will get some finished bearings by the end of the month.
I then have to fit the bottom plate and adjust for the correct gauge distance.
This takes about 4hrs/Bearing and is all under my control. (so I can work through the night if I have to)
I would like to run each Bearing for 24Hrs on my test bead, what do you think?

Sounds good to me! How much would it be to add a bearing base plate?

Hi Caleb,
The Bearing Base Plates cost A$255.00
Please mark PayPal payment as Personal/Private this avoids me from paying the commision they extract from every transaction.
I have just worked out how much money I have lost over the last two years, it is very considrable. PayPay is very fast and secure but the seller sure pays a price for this as the years add up.

+1 :lol::lol: I'm happy with that timeframe.

I know what you mean about Paypal - and there are other ways, such as direct transfer from bank to bank via internet. Maybe not as 'safe' for the buyer, but I do find the rates Paypal charge amazing in this day and age, though perhaps not :(

Thanks for your opinions, although I guess they do not cover everyone. I will run each Baring in for 24Hrs unless asked otherwise.
