I have two 1' ball bearings that I bought for a project that fell through, so I need something to make with them. Any ideas?

I was thinking about making a roulette table, but that might be beyond me.

Convince a friend to drop the bearings from a very high place so they smash you in the head for being useless.

I've reported your post for being off topic, you should have said I should do it myself.

Also, go fuck yourself.

You could use them in a quad-copter drone powered by a motorcycle engine. There's another thread already on that. Next time check the catalog first to avoid embarrassment.

bearins are measured by ball size, so he probably means the balls are 1"

Holy fuck how is everybody here so fucking stupid. OP posted an animation of a deep groove ball bearing. There is no there name for it. Bearings are identified by shaft size and load rating, not ball size (who the fuck thinks this?) or OD. These bearings have an ID of 1", most likely an OD of 2". As far as uses go, a lazy susan is a bad idea because these are not made for axial loads.

I have no idea what to do with these bearings, two bearings is a bit useless imo.

>> No.1207832

>>1207827
Not designed for it, sure. But not a "bad idea". I'm sure a 1" bearing can handle "Lazy Susan" axial loads.

spring loaded ball bearings on the bottom of something heavy so you can slide it easier.

That's true. Depends what you're putting on it I guess.

>Lazy Susan
i have buid one w/ glass marbles as bearings, about 25 of them
just two round wooden plates with a groove cut in its surface 20mm from the edge, 3mm deep and a radius of 11mm,
the two stack nice with the marbles both handling the rotation, axial force and sideways force,
and that all for freeeeeee, just some leftover materials i had

this just says that you understand mechanics unlike the other bozos "it will work" in this thread
