Looks good.

Here is a fork I made for the Bader style wheels. I just might have to give making the wheels a go.

The glue that worked for me was loctite 2-part epoxy. I also ended up roughing the shaft a bit with acetone wash, denatured alcohol "rinse" to prep. I also put some tiny dimples on the inside of the wheels with a butane soldering iron for more grab. Yours is virtually what I made with the exception of the front and that you were building to a particular wheel. Is that a 1/4" shaft? Nice build.

Just a thought. I wonder if you could you could hold the wheel assy to the attachment brackets with small rare earth magnets set and epoxied into drilled holes in the bracket radiuses. Might hold them in place during belt changes. Truthfully I'm not sure bearings are magnetic. I think most are, but I'll have to play with the idea at work tomarrow.

I had the same thought and I bet they are magnetic. I have learned a workflow that let's me change belts or wheels without any problems, but grab would be nice. It won't take much as the wheels will stay put, but right now a bump would drop them.
 
Erik... remind me why I am making platens for you and you are not doing them yourself?? haha.
 
hey Erik what you should try is the two sided tape they use on golf club handles that stuff will hold
