Beware of imitators who are turning wheels out of nylon & in some cases even cheap cast resin, those wheels DO NO last, especially the crowns on the tracking & drive wheels are soon worn to a taper by the tough backing found on 2\"x72\" knifemaking grinding belts! Our wheels are INJECTION MOLDED & we use GLASS FILLED NYLON (think fiberglass), a seriously tough material.

Two, 2\" diameter precision glass filled nylon idler wheels with sealed bearings.
One, 3\" diameter precision glass filled nylon tracking wheel with sealed bearings. The wheel is 3\" in diameter & crowned to ensure accurate belt tracking
