So has anyone put wheels on a lathe before?
I want super wide 90mm wheels.
Thinking 107mm abec 11s cut down to 90mm would be cool.
Anyone have any insight?

I thought I was the only one bothered by the fact that no vendor offer this option.

I wish all the abec wheels were as wide as the 107mm…
I want both a 125mmx100mm and 90mmx100mm wheel option lol.

I want those abec wheels hummie has. They look amazing. Or maybe someone to make gears for the venom mach 1’s. The main reason I still use Boa’s is because they’re wide and grippy af.

@moon has mach1 pulleys around the corner. You’re talking about centrax but they don’t have a core to get a pulley into.

@mmaner weren’t you messing around with drilling centrax at one point? Did that ever come to anything?

I was, it did not. I didnt find a reliable way of installing a base for a pulley. Need a core for it to be reliable and centrax wheels with a core are rare as rocking horse turds

Before I had to downsize my shop, I resurfaced urethane wheels for my local roller derby team.
Pretty easy, but leaves quite a bit of a mess.
I used carbide bits and about 500 rpm for the hard wheels and 1000 rpm for the soft road wheels. no need to freeze the wheels, just take shallow (<.1 inch) cuts to avoid chunking

Certainly it is done a lot but it can be very messy, hazardous and a bit wasteful.

Couldn’t you set the wheels in a bucket full of dry ice? You can get dry ice at most grocery stores fot a few $$$.
