How would one go about adding a bearing to a fiber brush plate?  In particular, I am wonder about how to get the proper alignment.

1) Square up the plate on a drill press.

2) Drill out the bearing with an appropriate bit (in this case, a #12 bit, .1890 inch diameter).  

3) Press bushing into place.  Secure with ACC or epoxy glue.  

4) Reassemble, lubricate and run!  

In a pinch, one can simply drill out the bearing hole with a hand drill or Dremel, but precision is not guaranteed using this method.  ;-D
