Hey guys, what about cam followers?

Are they not good for high speed use?

I found these listed a good for high speed use

2" wide 3.5" wheel

but they are $200 per wheel.

Maybe if you can get them as industry surplus but not if you have to pay for them

Yeah, I'm just going to buy a pair of PVC 2" x 2" idlers from USAknifemaker when they come back into stock.

Longboard idlers may be a good idea, you can choose among first class products in term of duro and bearings quality.
Casters need balancing, i mean...mandatory!! Also you can find ones with first class bearings, but they are expensive.
You will LOVE your own built grinder... but she will make you sad if you don't care about balancing things in first place
