Default Band saw roller guide bearings

Where are they for sale for anything other than Laguna, Delta, or the
generic Chinese Delta clone?

Likely takes a surface grinder. I have two. Want one ?


Why would one need a surface grinder to cut some aluminum to hold blocks
of ceramic?

I ended up getting a set of 8 sealed ABEC-5s for
25 bucks which let me replace the whole lot with a couple of spares.

Turned out that a couple of the bearings on the lower guide weren't
turning at all, and at least one more had something wrong with
it--periodically when one or the other was contacted I'd hear a whining
noise--that's gone.

Next time do www.vxb.com for bearings. Great service.

Better yet, switch to ceramic guides and get rid of a bunch of potential
problems.


Care to buy me a milling machine so I can make the mounts for them? I
didn't think so.
