bearings

This post is written mostly like my other "today I did" posts, but with content emphasizing/capturing information here that I wish other people captured when they posted online about their Harrison 10AA or Colchester Chipmaster oil leaks. Too many posts asked questions, eventually solved their...

[First post, please be kind. ] I have a 25 piece radius gauge set from the Little Machine Shop; ¹/64" to ¹⁷/64" by ¹/64", ⁹/32" to ½" by ¹/32". Which has been great.. except now I want to verify the outside Z-axis curvature of an outer bearing race roughly 4¾" in (outside) diameter. It looks...

Good day, I need some advice. I have taken apart my 1955 round ram table and saddle to clean out the grease put there by previous owners. What a mess. While apart, I am curious if I may need to replace the bearings. The left side of the table, there are two Norma bearings that are 20mm x 47mm...

This is a new to me 9a. I picked it up about 6 weeks ago and after extensive cleaning, mounting on a new table, and getting a drive flat belt in place was able to turn it on. Yeah!! That was the good news. The bad news is there is a squeak in the spindle. I started by turning off all everything...

Hi everyone, I am in the process of replacing my mill's spindle bearings (it is an Optimium BF20), and I have been looking at the usual suspects on the topic (Hoss, Russtuff). Anyhow, I am pretty much decided on just replacing the tapered roller bearings (32005) with new ones, steering well...

I have spent most of my time over on the yahoo forum... so I hate to duplicate questions but I am in need of assistance... At this point in my restoration I have the QCGB off and getting ready to replace a broken gear, I replaced the pulley on the motor and changed out the belts. The only...

I need help replacing the Head turret Bearings in an old Lathe we use for making the dowel for tripod legs. The MFG & Model plate is worn/faded and is unknown. See photos. Usually I can figure these things out... but this one has me stumped. Can anyone tell me what would be involved please?
