It wobbles quite a bit. It uses an A size KK bearing. ---

Cool~ Good job. You could also try to polish it but it might not grind as well. Looks good. 8) ---

it’s better than my first attempt. Do you have a lathe? Mine was similar, but I modeled it off an 888 to an extent. Don’t have a lathe though, and I couldn’t find a good way to make the bearing seat. didn’t even think about just using spacers. instead I used a 1/2" spade bit. which worked… okay, but not really well. ---
