I've got some steel axles through steel holes (drilled for oil drips) that I have put a reamer through and I can spin flywheels in them for around 30 seconds with one good flick of a finger.

I can't do that with any sealed bearing shafts I have made.

Watching that guy spin those bearings in the vid, I think for models with bearings that's what I'm after.
