Go to Post Programming isn't that hard once you get the hang of it. It has a steep learning curve like math. One day your trying to figure out 1 1, then the next day they throw x and y at you. Once you understand what x and y represent and learn to think in terms of functions, it's as easy as pi. - sciguy125 [more]

Re: Wheels Needed

One solution might be to use these:

MSC part number: 35375278
Oil impregnated bronze bushings.
they are 3/4" OD 5/8" ID and cost $.42 each.
then just set them into the hubs on the stock wheel chair wheels and put them onto your shafts.

Just make sure your shaft is something other than bronze.
Steel would be best. You might want to help them out a bit with some light oil.

Cheers

Yes, but that depends a lot on resources. Some teams don't have access to anything (mill or CNC) that would allow them to do that. If you've got the resources however, go for it. make them either keyed or able to fit a bearing of the size you want and you're good to go
