Hello all,
I’ve decided to build a wood carving duplicator similar to the one in the attached image.
I’ve chosen this design because the z-axis (vertical motion) in this design allows for a larger work bed compared to a more conventional locking lever used to adjust the cutting depth.
I’ve found pretty much all parts, except for the two (what I think are a type of) axial thrust bearings which I’ve circled red in the attached image. Does anyone have any idea where I can find these? Or what they are called? Or maybe there is a better way to go about this?
Any advice/tips/links or any other input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Bryan

I can’t quite tell from the picture just how the motion is going to take place.
Hand operated on smooth shafts or to be completed with stepper motors to get the carriage to move.
Good luck.

Not certain what they're called, but if you can't find them on McMaster.com, they don't exist!
