Rebuilding my Taft Pierce No.1 and want to replace the rollers under the saddle. Looked around, but don't really see anywhere that they are _readily_ available. ... like they are a specialty item or something... Is that really the reality of it? I would like to button her back up in quick fashion as I have already replaced all the balls with new ones and cleaned all the ways. The rollers are the last thing remaining. I checked McMaster and did not see anything. The two places I found via Google want one to call in and RFQ them. WTF?
So where does one get rollers in a speedy fashion? ( .256" D x .256" L ) I don't think I need to, but could easily sleep if I increased the diameter a one or three thousandths...
I'm tempted to simply purchase some 6.5mm hard drill rod and WEDM them off...
( For clarity, I need the loose rollers by themselves. )
