    Chair/bench for dolls

    This piece will never be completed in this shape, as it was supposed to be a bench for two, and it came out a bit too narrow.

    Bit size limitations?

    Hi, everybody!


    I seem to have ruined my Z-truck bearings (the ones called 6000 and 6002 = upper/lower on the spindle), probably by using a bit that was too large for the machine.
