this is the wrong way to go dust bearing never mix well .oil filled cutting wheel is the way to go .but the problem with that is they would last far to long .some would love it guess who would not i give you a clue it begins with R

Oil and dust doesn't go well either.

Seems to be a neat feature. Anything with bearings in is man-cave stuff.

glass cutting oil fed on a fibara flex cleaning the dust every time you cut

Anyway, back to the thread. Anybody used one yet? How do they compare to the usual scoring wheel?

the point here is its not whats on the inside of a cutting wheel as that does no cutting its what on the out side that matters as that what does the cutting .the harder and the thin point makes all the diffrence

Yeah I undestand point-pressure.

But I did used to get flat spots on the odd scoring wheel (other brands not just rubi) when they jammed due to the innards not spinning freely.

Haven't used oil wheels. Not that I know of anyway. But I'd have loved some bearings!

I used to skateboard, then BMX, then mountain bike, now downhill bike, I even had bearings in a nokia scirocco that were developed by a rally team or something the sales blurb said, so I love my bearings me.
