R2-D2: Rockler Bearing Arrival

I received My lazy suzan Rockler bearing today. Once I got it unpacked and unwrapped the first thing I did was give it a spin to find that it's extremely stiff. So to start with a good cleaning is in store for it. I will be taking it apart and cleaning the gunk out deburring it anywhere in the tracks that there is unwanted material and polishing the track with my trusty Dremel. I haven't decided on what type of lubricant I'm going to replace the gunk with yet. Nor have I decided to replace the steel bearings with Acetal bearings yet. I will have to see how loud it is once I get it cleaned and put back together.
