    I use SKF bearings and only support them. They are excellent and don’t leak. You could swap out for a PEEK dry bearing if it is a concern. The bearing isn’t for amusement, the fidget spinner aspect wasn’t intentional. it’s to take the load of the grinding to stop aluminium flakes. Tbh: my...

    Eek! Sorry mate :( I am not sure what's gone wrong here because the magnets haven't changed. It could be the post diameter on my part is out of tolerance and is tight on the bearing race. If you were down with it, you could heat the very top of the post make the magnet weaker. If you didn't...
