Advice please: Picked up this Yuasa end mill sharpener cheap but missing the main shaft. Seems easy to make a shaft with bushings or a collet set-up. I'm planning on using some TGP pump shafting that has a coat of hard chrome. The shaft supports don't seem to have any rolling ball on the tip. Just machined to look like a ball and have a bit of flat spot wear. I'm thinking of remaking the supports with a better bearing material than steel. Perhaps a hard brass. I know how to use these units although I've not used this exact model. Basically I'm hoping to emulate an air bearing on a beer budget. This would be a handy addition to use with my surface grinder.
