Creative uses for bearings in the workshop

- large outer races being put flat on a milling table and used as a reference surface for tramming the head
- individual balls/rollers as pivot points for clamping rough stock in a vice
- pipe trolleys like THIS


What other useful things would do in your workshop if someone dropped off a bunch of mixed bearings for free??

+1 on all the above and on adding a steel or other metal sleeve to the OD when used as wheels.
