Re: Question about Bearings?
While you might be able to get by with a plain hole (if properly dimensioned and finished), you'd be well advised to consider an oil-impregnated bronze bearing. They are very inexpensive in the small sizes - well under a dollar. There are a number of 1/4" inside diameter bearings of varying lengths for 50 to 75 cents each here:
