Machining Pearl Form Roller Wheels

[NOT DONE - that is, I've machined trucks, but have not yet written up the process] In this Notebook I'll go through the process of turning new compatible trucks in Delrin® on the lathe. Since most of the trucks for Golding presses of all models are quite similar, I'll try to be more thorough here and refer elsewhere to this project writeup. Project ID/Part No.: CR5-1/162. Project ID/Part No.: CR5-2/71.
