Not sure what the weather is like at your level, but pretty sure I would personally just buy the bearings from a commercial source for what its worth. And then I'm pretty sure I will pick the correct style of bearings and choose whether or not I'd want it to be sealed and internally greased or not. I'd probably go with a sealed one. So again, don't see how greasing bearings becomes an issue I'd have to worry about, or the 'leaving of gaps' for the grease as far as commercially available bearings are concerned.

This project involves measuring, and drafting it, in CAD form from a factory spec, if you read the first post of this thread it explains that. This is to provide a plethora of drawing to the community for educational purposes.
At the same time, it's something I can experiment with in CAD, to show others that there is more than just one type of cookie cutter design, and if I find something more efficient, and direct. Ill be sure to inform everyone.

Honestly I could care less how you do it or what you do, though it will be interesting to see progress you make for curiosity sake. You don't need to listen to anybody if you don't want to. LoL. Free country. Again, I could have the V2 gearbox completely CMM and CADed and maybe even machined in max 1-2 days myself if I cared enough to (which I completely don't), instead of talking about doing it for years on end without doing it.
I'm still pretty sure though, there is no concerning of 'gaps for grease' if one goes commercial bearings route though. Anyway, the weather is probably different at your level so good luck.

Power trip? Is that why you keep trying to find the issues in everything I write and correcting them to make yourself feel bigger? >.> Yeah, I am going to be defensive, after you publicly ridicule me.
Also, have I been talking about this forever? Pretty sure I said last year the project will get started in spring, do you not have patients it is march after all? If I wanted to give out lectures, I would have made a youtube video and linked it. So yeah, this is a public discussion, but you know have some respect
before you jump in and hijack it and say i am doing something, when I am not.
This was about drafting, and ideas. Not making a gear box from a ingot of steel, and using a CNC machine. >.> Pretty, sure I have said that like 8 times now.
Experimenting in CAD, is making something in a simulated 3 dimensional space. It isn't drawing something walking over to a machine uploading it through a USB and test firing after it's assembled. What do you think this is, 3d print a gun? Not what I am going for here. It's more or less concept that will be a series of screen shots very much like the 2 things I have already done. The only IRL/live shot you will see is the parts I ordered and the measuring process behind it.
