Well, thanks

I don't have a lot of experience with milling machines. I just assume they can do whatever I ask, but I know that isn't the case, so I just wanted to check if they could do the job.

What I've settled on, I think, is two pieces of 3/8" polycarbonate cut to a similar pattern and bolted together to form a 3/4" wide wheel. Then, we can attach belting to its circumference, or whatever other material suits our needs.

I'll post a screen shot of what I have in mind this evening. I decided to do it this way because it can be made from sheet stock, rather than looking for enormous round stock that is still kit legal. They're also reasonably light (.5 lbs each), which is also good - especially when there may be 10. ( )
