Default ball bearings spec table

Tell him to get a router table and a good 1/2" router.

You have too use precision bearings here at at least $100 a pop. But in
reality, you don't want 23krpm here. Either get a video camera or a
Powermatic commercial shaper 'cuz this is a disaster in the making. I've
shop built a number of big-ass shapers, up to 20hp, and you are headed
down
the WAY-wrong path. What do you want to shape?


It is not for me, it is for my friend. For the record, I also thought
that 1" shaft at 23k RPM is scary. He wants to shape wood for certain
musical instruments (he makes them for a living).

This is not for me, it is for my friend, who does not use usenet. He
needs some bearings and he wants to find standard industry
designations (like 6011, etc). I checked machinery handbook and did
not find that sort of table, even though it talks at length about
bearings.

He needs some 1" ID by 2" OD bearings. I know that McMaster has them,
but he (and I) is not sure whether there are different specs. And he
is hoping he can find a better deal on ebay if he knows what codes to
look for. He wants to basically make a wood shaper that would spin at
23,000 RPM. (!).
