- My fellow Automotive Fanatics, I welcome you to my channel for another DIY HACK!
Today, we are tackling a project that is a simply and cost-effective way to hack your QuickJack! We’re installing a set of roller ball bearing.
For the last 6 years, I cringed when I needed to move the QuickJack around. Due to the steel construction, it was not an easy task, especially the fine movements when positioning it underneath vehicles. After viewing other users and their elaborate ways of making the QuickJack “slide” around, I revised what I saw and made it the perfect, MOST COST-EFFECTIVE hack for the QuickJack!
On a scale of difficulty, I would rate this project a 1 or 2. It’s that easy! No special tools are required. You need the following items:
- two (2) 5/8” roller ball bearings (per side)
- one (1) 1” roller ball bearing (per side)
- 3x3x5/8 block of wood (per side)
- two (2) 5/8” wood screws (per side)
- several pieces of 3M tape (per side)
Install time: 15-20mins
If you guys have any questions, please post below and I will do my best to help. As always, thank you for watching and supporting my channel! Until the next time, this is Peter, The Automotive Fanatic!

Peter,
Thank you Sir for sharing this Quick Jak Hack. Your video and modifications to the 7000 TL will help older guys like myself keep our vehicles on the road. Bless you and your Family. From Austin Texas
Thanks Gene for watching and the support! I am glad you found this video useful.
This an excellent hack, works perfectly. I installed this IMMEDIATELY after setting up my quick jacks. Great find.
Awesome! Glad this helped you!
Awesome hack! I picked up the ball rollers before the QJ even arrived. Got them mounted up the day it landed and it works flawlessly. Saw your follow-up vid which is good for those who need a bit more visualization. Nice job! Also great to hear how they have performed over time. :)
Love the channel, boss! Still waiting for my QuickJack system to arrive but I’m excited! Subbed.
Thanks for watching and the support! You will love the QJ.
Lots of people questioning 3 balls vs 4. I bought 4 but afte putting on the first 2, I realized 3 would be better. The reason is the same as why a rigid tripod is better than a rigid4 legged stand when placed on an uneven surface. 3 legs will always be in contact with the ground. The 4th is a maybe. These balls are imprecisely attached on an inclined surface. Getting the two on one end exaclty positioned the same is near impossible (but helped by mild flexibility of the jack), but even if you are off a hole 1/4", with only 1 ball on the other end, all 3 will support the jack.
Thank you for your input and exceptional explanation. I couldn't have explain it better.
Great hack! Thank you for sharing. I am doing this today!
Thank you for watching and glad the hack will help you!
Thank you Peter great hack that has saved all the pushing and shoving of my Quickjack.
I know the feeling!
Awesome work, once again !!
Thank you for the input and support!
OMG, as a frequent user, this is a must have hack, thanks so much!!!!!
It took me 5 years to find this hack! Imagine that!
Very cool. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you for watching and the support!
I just stumbled on this. Great idea. Solves a problem for me. I am getting too old to be throwing these things around. Thanks. Subbed and liked.
I know exactly how you feel! These things are not light.
Man this is an excellent addition to the lift and I will defiantly be trying this out! Appreciate this!
glad this video helped out!
Super great tip! Thanks for sharing Peter. My back thanks you too.
Thank you for watching and the support! We all know the QJ are not light.
This is a hell of a good idea .. Thanks. Getting the QJ positioned under the car is a real pain .. this would simplify the process greatly.
Exactly Jerry! It was a PITA to move around.
I know this is a year old, but just got my Quickjack, This hack is genius. Moving these beasts around when your 70 years old is a PITA. Thank You so much!
Trust me, I know the feeling.
Many thanks, Peter and Ma-san. I watched and learnt from both of you.
My new QJ is 7000 TL I bought from Japan and I am from TAIWAN. Each frame has got 45.5 KG, which is very heavy to slide and move on the ground to aim right at the joints of a vehicle.
I used the same roller ball bearings and the same way you taught to install, but the positions are slightly different from your suggestions as of the length of 7000 TL. I just tried to make the basic frame 5 mm off evenly the ground. It works.
This is very cool indeed. Save a lot of energy. Many thanks !!!
Outstanding! I am glad you took this idea and made it work for you.
I just got the 7000TL and am so glad I saw this video and comment! Thanks both of you!
@@tonydaroza1561 I'm glad you found this video useful!
Nice jack bro! Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching and the support!
Worked excellent, thank you! I modified it slightly and attached 2 bearings to the back arms as well. Needed a small spacer but worked well.
Awesome Mark, glad you made it work better for you. Did you use two larger bearings in the back arm?
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic Thanks for the reply! I used 5/8 bearings all the way around. 2 on each end. Not sure how durable these bearings will be, but So far it’s working great! Didn’t raise it enough to be a problem fitting under my corvette.
@@marktomcho I hear Corvettes have no profiles so it's nice to see the QJ still works underneath.
Excellent tip!
Thank you for watching!
You are a GOD. I got my QuckJack (QJ) and car lined up so that I could have maximum room in front of the car, then I taped off the edges of the QJ with reflective tape. Everything looked perfect. When I slide the QJ laterally over the tape I'm sure you can guess that it rubs the tape off. Then I get sad. This will fix that problem and you will live on in my heart for all eternity.
Steven H, glad you found this video useful. I just cant believe it took me 5 years to find a simple hack like this and make it work for me.
I am going to do that !
Knowing where to put the Jacks each time was a pain in the arse so I spay painted its outline on the concrete surface, it works !
I agree Ron, prior to this hack, moving the QJ around was a pain and I too, had to use black tape to determine where I needed to store them. You can see it in the video. LOL
This is very cool. I also keep them under the car but on two 2x8 Masonite sheets smooth side up. They slide pretty easily on those. I do like this better and might give it a try. One word of caution is be careful not to let the hydraulic hose slip under the QJ. I've done that. It will pinch and the QJ will get stuck when trying to raise the car. The car will then not lower and you will have to use a floor jack to free it. I also had one side decompress as you showed in your other video. As you learned, you cannot stop raising it when one side passed the lock and the other side before the lock or this could happen. Also don't stack more than two items under each lift point. I use a rubber block and a pinch weld puck or bmw jack pad depending on the vehicle. Stay safe with jack stands.
I had the same problem with the hose, it got pinched under the frame and I could not lower the jack. I had to pull out the floor jack to free up the hose, not sure what a good solution is but at least I won't do it again. It certainly is a pain to slide the quickjacks around, they are heavy.
Thanks for the tip,if not under do u route them above?
What a great idea!
I cannot say that the original idea was mine...but I took it and improved it for my needs. Hope it works for you!
What a brilliant idea
Thanks for watching, hope it helps you out as well!
That is a great mod! Thanks!
Thanks Brian for watching and hopefully this does help you.
Ty.. this is what I needed. You have a new subscriber!!!!
Thanks for watching and the support! Cheers!
Thank you for the video. Very good idea.
Glad you found this video to be helpful! Cheers!
Great tips!
Enjoy and remember to use the larger 1" bearings.
Good job man!
Thanks!
Awesome! Im gonna do this to mine
Glad you found this video useful!
Good stuff! Suggest adding a few seconds of how the QJ motion works with the ball bearings
In hindsight jimmbbo, that's something I should have incorporated. I'm sure others are wondering what happens to the bearings and is the lift safe.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic you explained it pretty well. I don't think you need a demonstration if you understand how the QJ works.
@@MrBuckshot18 Unfortunately some people need a little more hand holding than others.
Worked for me. Thanks!
I have a 7000TL and had to go with a 3/4 block instead of 1/4 and it worked well.
Thanks for the input. I'm sure others using the 7K TL will appreciate it!
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic thanks for your video. I was struggling to move them around!
Brilliant!
Thanks for watching and the support!
Great mod. I saw the other video with these same rollers, but he put four underneath, and I think the rollers on the one end (where you put the single larger roller) do not lose contact with the floor when it is raised. I’m definitely going to do this mod. Thanks!
Four rollers would be ideal, but three works just fine. Thanks for watching and the support!
i do have a setup with 4 (because my garage has tiles instead of a concrete floor so i have wooden board attachedunderneath my qj to make sure i dont damage the tiles, so i had to position my wheels on the outer edges)
It works perfectly fine and all 4 lose contact to the ground when raised as intended.
@@iqHunter Thanks for sharing!
Nice job 👍🏻
Thank you for watching and the support.
Thanks peter cant wait do this today
Let me know how it works out for you!
It worked for me. I hope you can patent this. Great idea
Glad this helped you out!
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you for stopping by and checking the video out! Love your track videos!
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic haha, Thank You. I just finished my run to HF and installation. I used a piece of 5/8 wafer board from a nearby construction site, double stick tape and zip ties. So easy and now very happy these QJ can roll anywhere. Thank you again.
@@DrBryceCrowley congrats! I hope your floor is nicer than mine. LOL.
I was hoping you'd deploy the QuickJack so we could see it in action. Great information anyhow!
Great suggestion and a few before you asked for something like that. I created a followup video here which shows exactly how the rollers work:
czcams.com/video/B9alEh1dakM/video.html
Thank you!!
Thank you for watching and the support!
QuickJack needs to add this to their design!
I agree! That or making the lifts easier to move when they are fully decompressed.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic Their new model is even heavier.
@@LuckyNikitaBoba Correct! I have their newer TL series lift so the extra 3" height increase makes a difference.
Nice, I have been disappointed with the roller casters from another hack video, might give this a shot, thanks!
Give these a shot; make sure to use the larger rollers.
Love this! Very well presented. Any updates on robustness or required bearing lube?
Just found out I will need the extender for new vehicle(5000SLX, 64” spread on lift points of new vic). So glad I haven’t bothered to hang them. They are fine shoved to the sides of my garage.
It's been several months since I installed the rollers and have used the QuickJack at least 50 times since then. I can happy report that no issues have come up with the rollers.
Even if the bearings went "bad", the time & effort to replace is so minimal ($0.99 + few minutes to remove old & install new).
Kudos.....very good idea. You deserve a Cinnabun for the brillant idea
Too much sugar, I'll take an apple instead. LOL
This is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this hack. I would like to use the larger ball bearings in all three positions, just to improve their ability to roll around on my floor. Is there any reason not to use three of the 1” ball bearings instead of one 1” ball bearing and two 5/8” ball bearings?
Thanks for watching and the question. The only downside I see to using all the 1" bearing, is it increasing your overall unlifted height. Aside from that, the benefits completely outweigh the downside.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic If you use bigger/smaller bearing wheels you can just position them slightly further to the front/back since the bar its attached to is at an angle you just need to find the right spot to position them where it slightly lifts the qj but doesnt gain to much hight.
Nice. Thanx
Thank you for watching the video!
Thx you helped me
Glad this video was of use to you. Cheers!
Wow, I really like this idea. What I did was glue strips of carpet onto the bottom side of the jack, which made it much more slippery on my floor. The negative to this is that I have to watch to ensure that anything spilled on the floor doesn't end up making its way to it. I would have gone with your idea first if I'd seen it. :)
Mike, I never thought about carpet, but I feel your pain. Those QJs are not easy to slide and move around.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic
How much do they weigh, as a ballpark? 200 to 250 lbs a side?
@@sadfur8728 no, they are roughly 65-100lbs depending on the model.
Will be doing this this weekend. And it doesn't cost Hundreds of dollars like some other options. Thx.
It's truly a game changer!
Wow, this is definitely the best hack for the quickjack in regards to moving it around. Like yourself, I saw the other videos with custom-made brackets, but this one is a no-brainer. Thank you for sharing, and I am definitely going to do the exact same as you. Thank you and happy holidays.
Thanks for watching and the support! Enjoy your QuickJack with this hack!
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic on my way to harbor freight today after work. Gonna work in this project this weekend.
@@crushrreviews good luck, post up if you have issues or find a better way to make it work!
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic I just walked out of harbor freight as I write this chat with the casters. Thank you
Just bought mine and I already installed these bearings. Amazon sells them by the bag. Very cheap model. Fastened mine with tech screws. Mount the 1 inch ball on a block of wood for one end. My concrete is very rough and it still rolls.
That's great to hear. It took me 5 years to find this hack.
any concern about weakeneing the arms with driving the screws in them? i've tried a previous hack, and one thing i learned is that the paint on these things isn't strong enough to hold the 3M tape. i'd rather screw them in, but i worry about reducing the load capability.
@@JonGibbs-pf2bt One could use worm style hose clamps to hold the bearings into place?
What tape did you use for the two 5/8 ball bearings? Also how did you apply the tape considering the backside of the ball bearings are concave an not flat?
Travis, just use 3M double sided tape and a ziptie at each end. With this configuration, I have used the lift multiple times with no issues at all.
Great Idea, I just ordered my QuickJacks and have not gotten them yet, so this may be a stupid question. Is there a reason you couldn't use the small ball bearings on all 4 points on the arms about 3 inches of the axis point? Thanks for the video and any info.
Todd, I am sure you could use the small bearings for all the corners. The most important item though, is making sure they lift the QJ off the floor when in the retracted position and are safely off the ground when the QJ is in its raised position.
another good hack, instead of using the QJ positioning handles supplied, they are useless because they pop off, I use 2 pipes , 3 feet long, that fit in the pivot holes, and with wheel modifications, I can easily wiggle and push the quickjack in place
Great tip! Personally, I never used the handles for exactly the reason you mentioned...they simply did not work well.
How thick is the block of wood with the 1" roller bearing attached to it? Thanks! Love your idea! Thanks for sharing!!
Duh... I read your info and you have it posted there. Thanks for the awesome idea and awesome video. Can't wait to do mine!
How has QJ not thought of this!!
I believe it's all about liability.
Do you have a close up for how you zip tied the roller bearings? Did you use a single zip tie or did you use two zip ties per hole?
Edward, the smaller bearings are head on by 3M double sided tape. Then I simply zip-tied the very edges of the bearings. You can somewhat see it on the main video page.
Looks awesome, how think is the block?
It's roughly 5/8".
How thick are the wood blocks? I am awaiting my Quick Jack and want to have these ready to install! Awesome idea, thanks for sharing!
The wood blocks are roughly 3/4".
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic Thank you!
@@andrewh1875 You can also get away with 5/8".
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic All done with my quick jack hack! Thanks for sharing! I love your videos, keep it going!
@@andrewh1875 awesome! Enjoy them.
What type of 3m tape did you use? This is brilliant, thanks for posting.
Did you figure out what 3m tape works best?
@@bryans8193 This seems to be the only unanswered question...
I used Gorilla double sided tape, no zipties on all wheels, works for me.
@@randersson3672 be careful of depending on the tape alone. on mine, the tape pulled the paint off. the paint isn't strong enough.
@@JonGibbs-pf2bt It's still holding, but I see what you are saying.
Very smart idea 💡. Do you think the quick jack is durable enough to be used in a tire shop daily?
Thanks for the comment Son of Africa. IMHO, the QuickJack would not be a good tool to use in a tire shop. From my experience, tire shops need quick methods of lifting customers' cars. The QuickJack's setup is too slow. Now if you're only working on a handful of cars in a day, then it would be a good tool. Cheers!
My concern is creating several high points of contact with the ground vs the entire frame being flush with the surface. It's a great idea but not certain how this would effect rigidity
Thanks for the great input. The high points only exist when the lift is flat. Once you start lifting, in as little as 1-2", you'll see that the bearings no longer touch the ground. It's replaced by the QuickJack's frames.
I don't think you understood the video.
This is brilliant. One of my concerns with the quickjack system is how hard are they to set up when it's time to lift your car up. I found your vid a few months ago and my concerns were pretty much forgotten. I finally got my quickjack 5000tl and am doing this mod asap. They are very heavy and moving em into position takes some effort. I really think this mod will greatly reduce the effort and setup time.
Thank you for watching and the support! I've seen made an updated video and showed viewers how I used the larger bearings. They work much better!
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic u have another video of this mod?
@@N2theIzzle I did a follow-up video using the larger bearings: czcams.com/video/B9alEh1dakM/video.html
So u recommend the larger ones on the wheel end now so it rolls better. I already got the little ones. I'll see how they do. If it's a big old fail, I'll get the larger ones. My garage floor is that courser unpolished type of cement. Also, I figured u went with the smaller ones initially to reduce the overall height of it when it's fully collapsed.
@@N2theIzzle Yes, I find the larger ones to provide more rolling surface area. It's slightly taller than the smaller ones, but nothing you cannot work with.
Smart!
Thanks for watching and the support!
Hi handsome. Great product review. More videos please.
Thank you great channel. Would this modification make the car to slide around when jacked up if you lean on it? Any safety concerns? I don't own a quickjack.
I see, its up in the air when jacked up.
@@Sungjuleeyes Correct, it's 100% safe.
Genius!
I was about to ask about rolling while jacked up, but you thought that out. Bravo!
You do not get any shift while the car is going up until the bearings are off the ground?
How much height do these add? My ground clearance is super limited with a Corvette
Thanks for watching this video. Using these on your Corvette may prove to be difficult. Mt GT4 is low'; assuming your Vette is as well. You'll need to drive it up on low rise ramps to get the clearance needed to lift. With these bearings, it will add roughly 1/2" and you'll have no issues with shifting.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic thanks much.
My Vette JUST clears at the moment.
@@PMPerformance if your Vette barely clears the jacks, I don't think the QJ will lift it. In my experience and QJ doesn't do too good of a job of informing their users...but the QJ needs some "lift" to actually lift your vehicle up. Due to the design, the hydraulics does not have enough power to left a vehicle from a completely horizontal position. It needs roughly 2-3inches of lift, before it will fully lift your vehicle up. Does yours lift the Vette from complete horizontal?
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic yea it lifts it fine as is.
It’s just a little bit of a fight at times to get the jacks under the car with the blocks. I need to remove the blocks to clear my side skirts and then once they are under, then place the blocks back in the trays.
@@PMPerformance you're lucky! When I tried to lift my 911, I had to get extra clearance so the QJ would have enough pressure to lift the car.
I didn't zip tie the two wheels wondering if that will fall off in time, feels pretty tight and secure.
I feel the zip tie was slightly lose cuz those 2 brackets sorta small ish...
I think over time, the 3M tape might be ok. The zipties were to provide a more secure placement.
4 minutes into an 8 minute video: “without further ado…”
Yes, I know...I tend to speak too much.
@@TheAutomotiveFanaticI would like to know how you store them in the garage if I hang it it’s a hazard to fall on something
@@EnergySeeker I leave them on the floor, centered underneath my wife's SUV.
Awesome....I dread using my QJ's because they are so very hard to move....my garage floor has a broom finish which makes it very hard.
It took me 5 years to figure out this trick so I do understand your pain.
Turn in your man card whiner.
Great hack Peter! How thick is the wooden block did you use for the 1" ball bearing?
sky mak, the block of wood is 5/8".
I'm curious what your experience is with the longevity of using roller bearings. I had installed this on my 5000SLX back in 2019. When the bearings were new operation was smooth, rolling across concrete floor without much effort. Over time the rollers begin to drag across concrete leaving marks. I wish there was a better system for multidirectional rollers as the roller bearings pick dust fast and become a literal drag.
Pro, what size are you using? In my experience, I see the larger bearing lasting longer and easier to roll around. With dust and debris, it tends to clog the smaller ones easier, causing them to not roll as smoothly.
Do these increase the minimum height of the quickjacks when they aren't raised? Would it still fit under lowered vehicles?
Yes, the rolling bearings will raise the minimum height of the QJ roughly 1/4". It's required so that the QJ can roll around. Will this still fit under lowered vehicles? Unless your vehicle is too low, you should not have an issue.
I already have to drive my S2000 front tire up on 2x4's to get the smallest rubber pad in. :)
Hi, what was the thickness of the block of wood used for the 1 inch roller ball? Also what 3m tape did you use. I didn’t see the links mentioned on your video. Thanks!
The thickness is 5/8" by 3x4.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic thanks! Great videos!
@@timg8045 Thanks for watching and the support!
I had planned to just leave them pushed together, partially under my truck.
Is that a problem?
I left my QJs under my wife's SUV for years without any issues. Always make sure they are never in the way when you pull into the garage.
A cool idea but how much does this reduce clearance?
it will reduce your clearance by roughly 3/8-1/2"
what is the thickness of the board you used for the 1" ball?
5/8"
Great video it's shocking the manufacturer just doesn't ad d this feature to their prodct at this point. Do you ever have issue with it rolling slightly my garage is not fully level.
I believe it's all about liability. If you do have a slight decline/incline in your garage, be careful because the QJ on the rollers could slightly shift.
Can it lift my F150 with 6 inch lift off the ground? Watch: czcams.com/video/cJCMx68VpnU/video.html
That F150 is not a light truck. Very impressive indeed!
I guess the advantage of bearings over wheels is wheels add more height which may be an issue with cars with little clearance.🤓
Actually Mike, having the rollers allow the QuickJack to move in any direction with ease. Having wheels present more of a challenge because they have to "face" the direction they're rolling to work properly.
thanks
Semper Fi DD.
great idea. what are the dimensions of the block?
3"x4"
genious
Thank you, but I cannot take complete credit for the idea.
How high does this lift the quick jack off the floor?
No more than 1/2”.
what happens to the bearings when the jack is extended under load?
Great question Harold! The placement of the bearings are where the arm extend. When the QuickJack starts lifting, the arms lift and take the bearing up as well. The main frame then contacts the ground and is 100% safe.
Try watching the video. It's all explained.
I have a very low car..using 3 5/8 bearing only will help?
Mass, how low is your car? With my 911, I had to use ramps to get enough height clearance.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic now it slide perfectly without this mod..i gues few extra mm and im f***d :)
Peter-good idea and I'm going to try it. Only problem is I went to eBay to search for the roller ball bearings and there is no one selling the roller bearings at anywhere near $10 !
Try Harbor Freight. I would actually suggest the larger bearings:
www.harborfreight.com/1-inch-roller-ball-bearing-67060.html
Could you show how you installed them. Thanks
Hello Ricardo, installation isn't difficult. You need double sided tape and some zip ties. Use my video to gauge where you place them and what to do.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic thank you for replying.
Technically, you have what you are calling the front and rear reversed but I don't think it matters. Great mod!
Thanks for the input.
Why didnt you raise a vehicle with the rollers for the video? Can those bearing wheels take the weight? Is ok to work on something that can roll like that when lifted?
Edmond, all your questions can be answered by watching my follow-up video. Many people like yourself, was confused with the rollers and how they work. Hope the follow-up video helps!
czcams.com/video/B9alEh1dakM/video.html
Are these bearings from Harbor Freight?
Correct!
According to HF website, 1" and 5/8" ball bearing rollers are available in store, at least in my local store.
Does it roll on Swisstrax flooring?
Great question, I had to look up what Swisstrax flooring is. Unfortunately, I do not see the bearings rolling well on them. Due to their small contact patch, it would get stuck.
Great mod. Most "hacks" on CZcams are just that. Hacks by hacks. This actually really works. I have epoxy floors and didn't want to totally trash them every time I use my QuickJacks.
Thank you for watching and the kind words. Cheers and happy lifting!
Maybe i'm missing something, how does this not leave divots in your garage floor?
Never mind, just watched your update video.
Link for the ball bearings? Thx
www.harborfreight.com/1-inch-roller-ball-bearing-67060.html
any reason you didn't use a self tapping screw on the smaller rollers, instead of double tape and zip ties...?
Great question Larry. I did not tap into the QuickJack because my fears of altering the integrity of the frames.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic ,,,understandable i might try some jb weld or something once i get mine, order has been placed just waiting to process it. thanks for your answer.
@@larrysmith3293 I will provide you and everyone else an update. If you have smooth floors, these bearings will work great. However, if you have uneven floors with cracks in them, the bearing may catch. What then happens, it slowly pulls away from the double sided tape. I noticed this today when showing a friend how to set his up. It's not a huge issue, but the timing was perfect since you asked about it.
I have owned quick jacks for 4 years, and my biggest complaint was moving them, I am doing this to mine tomorrow!
Mike, it took me over 5 years to figure this out.
5:54 When he uses 3M as a verb, is he referring to the use of 3M-VHB tape?
You are correct Dave. I am referring to 3M-VHB tape.
What are the dimensions of the wood block?
Joe, it worked out to be roughly 4x3.
@@TheAutomotiveFanatic how thick?
@@maxblaze5667 The block of wood I used was roughly 5/8" of an inch.
I too would appreciate a reply on the thickness of the wooden block.
Great idea I'm going with 4 one inch bearings. Thanks
William, I recently updated mine with the 1" balls. They work excellent!
