Bearings should NOT turn on the outside surface or the inside
surface. The whole point is to do the turning on the ball
bearings which you can see on some bearings, but I'm sure are
covered by a dust shield on your bearings. They are permanently
lubricated bearings, not serviceable - run till they growl or
click, then replace them. It is failure of the "system" if the
bearing's outer shell slips in its recess - Loktite makes a
product to glue them in location if this happens.

ok, so i am starting the process to rebuild several 1960's era
craftsman
equipment, starting with the jointer.

i have the motor dissasembled, it wasnt too bad but needed a
little
cleaning. bearings roll nicely, and were not too dirty.

my question is how much and what kind of grease should i use?
will regular
bearing grease be ok? its made for very high temps ........

do i just need a little coating on the outside edge of the
bearings where
they must move agaist the inset of the housing?? there didnt
seem to be a
whole lot on them, not sure if thats normal or it has worn away
with
time.....
