Can you help me visualize what you were doing? You held the bearing by
the inner race, applied air kind of sideways, and then let go of the
bearing?


I was re posting something from several years back, but yes, that
would be how it was done. You can get them up to some impressive RPMs
that way - enough to explode the outer race I'm told.


You forgot to tell them to bend over it while they spin it, Gerry.

All the more reason not to do it
