Re: Custom Intake Rollers

We use 3" black ABS sewer pipe with some grey 3M bathtub anti-slip tape wrapped around it. This stuff is found at some Ace Hardware stores in various widths, sold by the foot. It's not the black sandpaper stuff, but rubber with a high texture.

We drilled bearing holes in the end caps on the lathe. Our nice build space, Xerocraft, has a shiny new 7/8 drill bit lying around, bless their hearts.
