As many do, this tumbler has a drift issue. The barrels go to the.left and rub on the splash guard. So, for ¢79 I bought a little roller doohickey and installed it to protect the barrel and the guard.  That vertical bar between the bearings facilitates this feature as well. A gift that keeps on giving. |

Doohickeys are so useful! Especially 79¢ doohickeys! They totally rank right up there with thingamabobs. Those are the best! |

Although, it would be your second one. Maybe only six months to build.
But the material cost and the patent. Big cash.
You did patent the idea? Patents are very expensive.

A Patent is only worth what you are willing to spend to defend it, go for a trademark ! It's a one time shot, (fairly cheap) and good for the duration.

I went to Lowes, I went to the right area I thought. Ask them if they had any "roller ball". They gave me a look like I was crazy, well maybe I am but you to be something. I described it to them what and they still they had no idea. Lowes has been fired, from my list of places to go. Mail order |

Roller balls are used to make material handling trays or manual conveyors. A bunch of them on steel channel and you can push and rotate a heavy load easily. Look to machine shop and material handling suppliers.
Many bearing zerk fittings are 1/8 NPT size. A rather inexpensive galvanized steel 90 or 45 degree street elbow could go a long way to making fittings easily accessible. A street elbow has male threads one end female on the other. Wind out the zerk fitting, wind in the pipe fitting, point it in a direction you want, wind in the zerk. Use a little teflon pipe sealing tape. A LITTLE tape, do not let the tape get past the thread closest to the end of the threads. You might not want strips of tape running amongst the balls in the bearing.
