i was messing around with my dremel and i tried to put the buffer on the wheel and turned it to the fastest level and and held it there for a few minutes and it after it was way faster!

i used to use just slop my new bearings with vasoline and let them spin on the drill for like 10 minutes straight. then clean them out and lube em up with some oil.

Actually Andy, a few times I've done this to wear down a wheel so it'd fit (see:125) but I used my angle grinder which is hella gnarlier than a Dremel and it would go way too fast and everything would go crazy, the bearings would come out of the wheel and stuff, once the wheel actually fell down while it was going a million miles an hour, I dunno how it didn't destroy everything in its path.
