I have about 30 brand new 76mm skatewheels from inline skates that need a new home. These were removed from new unbranded skates and include the plastic bushings and mounting "bolts". There are bearings in the hub. (See pic)
These work great as robot wheels or rail slide wheels for camera mounts or CNC machines. Just do a search for skate wheel on instructables, hackaday, etc. Spark fun sells similar skate wheels for 2.59 but without any hub parts.

I can fit 4 into a small flat rate box, so if anyone wants a set of 4 for $10 shipped, let me know.

  • Andrew,
    Did you sell off all of these skate wheels.

  • Nope, still have at least a dozen. Would love to see them find a new home though! Not sure how many would fit in a $12 flat rate box but I can check depending on how many you need.

    Hmm. Never saw this thread. At $10, you could give the Plasmacarwheel guy some stiff competition!

    But two wheels are slightly machined to make them thinner.

  • Andrew,
    4 would be all I would ever need.

  • Jim, sorry for not getting back sooner, but in going through my cabinet to pull the box of wheels out, I recalled that I had donated them a while back to a high school tech class with several other items. My apologies on that. I will keep an eye out for any as I continue going through my shop as I believe I had planned on keeping some for myself, and if I find those, you are welcome to them.
  • Thanks for the update.
    Jim
