With FAF right around the corner, I’ve noticed the topic of bearing blanks being brought up in various threads, so I thought we could consolidate the topic. Personally, I’d really love some A, D, and C sized wooden blanks, but I’ll take what I can get.
Does anyone have any leads on bearing blanks, regardless of material?
Edit: I’m going to organize all the responses below.
Soul Fuel Skill Toys can make just about any sized bearing blank you want in the following materials: Teak wood, POM/Delrin and Brass. They can also make MR85 Blanks in POM. Soul Fuel is also taking pre-orders for their Om Fixed axle yoyo.
I think @Captrogers posted an IG link for someone who makes wooden blanks, but they’re in India. I wouldn’t be opposed, but would be nice to have something that could be delivered in less than 10 days.
I forgot about the ZGRT D blanks, which I do have a few of. I’m really after that wood though. I’ve been looking into wood turning, so that would be a good project.
I’ve just been loving the RBC with glued bearing as a blank but with a wood blank!! How hard could it be to get a 2.5mm panel of wood, cut 8mm blanks, and drill
5mm holes in the middle?
Be care with these as they are not standard d-bearing width, they are 3mm wide rather than the standard 5mm. They do not fit in a Respawn for example, bearing posts are too long.
