Re: 1.9" Omni Wheels

I've recently used mcmaster #2289T41 for a personal project. It's the 1/4" bore version, but the difference is a small plastic bushing that reduces the bore from 5/16" to 1/4". Here's a picture. There are three pieces: two wheel halves and a center hub piece. There's a significant amount of material on this hub. Definitely enough to open the bore to 3/8 and broach. I'll have to verify, but you should also have enough meat on the hub to broach to 1/2" hex. (edit: the OD of the hub is 0.7". definitely enough room to broach 1/2" hex)

The rollers themselves are made of a hard acetal, so don't expect any significant amount of grip from these wheels.
