Re: make vs. buy wheels

We have just been throwing conveyor thread onto the kit wheels for 3 years now, (8" Skyways?) and it works great. We never had a tread fall off or a wheel break, but if it did we could easily get another because the wheel was from the kit, and it only takes about a hour to put the tread on. (and a lathe)
