Damn crap they sell today.
i bought 2 new bearings about 2 years ago.
To me they are still new.



To the rest of the world they are 2 years old. Should they have
lasted? I don't know the environment you saw is in. Humid, covered
with sawdust, they will go to crap in a hurry. If you are in a dry
area and clean the saw well after every use, they probably should have
lasted longer.


Dry and clean.
