    some wheels have enough thane to cut full bushing depth out of.
    Drill press, holesaw, Lathe if you're lucky.

    You should be able to search up some good how-to's or just buy some from karrot.

    karrot does it and im working on it. got my lathe setup. you dont need one, but still. search for "abec11bushings" and it'll come up. i have a set and they're the best bushing ive ever used. im really excited about making reflex bushings...

    yes, he glues many bushings together around a plastic disc so you can use them as wheels, they're moar awesome than killer robots.

    i read it once, i think you use a hole saw (measure out your bushing size), i think it was bout an inch give or take, then use a drill to create a hole in the center. 3/8 should work cuz that's how big kingpins generally are. search for it though cuz that was a very gross generalization.

    -KS m1 46", R2 180s flipped pin swapped, abec 70mm flashbacks, mad max abec 5s, hopin to get some abec bushings soon. (i <3 this board)
    -S9 off the wall, deck only as of now. hoping for indy 169s, zig zags, and reds soon.
    -Evo deck, somewhere in the mail
    -dervish - sold
    -tactis white terror - blue crails - white jimz bushings - 78mm blast waves - bones swiss
