Thank goodness there are people in this world who refuse to let 2" wheels have all the fun.

I'd buy that for $8

Thank you AndyMark for another great COTS product!

We had good success with Delrin hubs in our shooter wheels this year. Went with around 0.004" over size press, some may have been more like 6 >_>. We have a big arbor press and I may have gotten a little carried away with the interference #SorryNotSorry.

Hope that you will have enough stock of all four of the wheels.

Keeping stock for plastic molded AndyMark products is not a problem. Our mold shop is about 5 miles away, and they provide fast service. We don't have to keep gobs in stock, due to quick production runs.

We may run out of stock for a molded item for a few days, but it's always back in stock soon.

This is reason #3480 we don't buy molded parts from distant lands.

Sincerely,
Andy B.

Fun fact, at size 12 single spaced Times New Roman with 1 inch margins, you can get ~46 lines on a page so the AndyMark handbook for buying molded parts must be at least 76 pages assuming each reason is at least a single line.

I'm guessing Andy uses that handbook to keep his desk level.

Also, the entire AndyMark employee handbook is only 15 pages. (I just checked.) Aside from FIRST's game manuals, I can't think of any company-guiding documentation that comes in at 50+ pages.

Also, you think Baker can't build a level desk?

LOL. Now people are going to be looking at that desk for teasers.

Baker can't use you to defend his honor! He better provide a video using a NavX to show how level that desk is without a stack of paperwork under those wheels!

Marshall, don't spit into the wind. Even I can cut and drill pieces off site for an outdoor workbench to be used from a boardwalk and have it come out level at the right altitude (and be more solid than the boardwalk). Baker's so got an indoor desk that it's not funny.

That desk has wheels and is clearly meant to be rolled outdoors into the rain. #WaterGameConfirmed

At this point I'm just trying to see how absurd I can make this thread prior to kickoff. I'm waiting on Nate to drop a memey gif in here next.

Beyond the 2" sizing, this one has a black color option too!
