Pretty sure on the r8 spindle it is 2MM207* in Fafnir Industry std nomenclature would be 7207* followed by a letter to designate contact angle, probably B or C In Barden it would just be 207 SNFA has a ******* numbering system IIRC so you'd have to look it up using the boundry dimenions. Here's a nice bearing manual in .pdf http://www.kalamaprecision.com/bearingmanual/ |

Box says 2MM207WI DUL, additional info says 100% tested per ABMA STD 13, ABEC 9-MMV There's a couple folks selling these and the Barden bearings on ebay. Might do well to price shop. I don't recall what I paid, but it was a lot less than list price in the MSC catalog. Jon |

Thanks. I have two pairs of 2MM9107WI, and wonder where they go, I thought Bridgeport.

I have two pairs of 2MM9107WI, and wonder where they go, I thought Bridgeport. Too small at 35X62X28--I would guess they were probably being stocked for a grinding wheel head of some sort and not for something with a through-hole. They would also be about the right size for a low-load high-speed ball screw thrust bearing depending on actual contact angle. Here's a nice bearing manual in .pdf http://www.kalamaprecision.com/bearingmanual/ This is awesome. Thanks You're perfectly welcome. |

If memory serves a mill usually uses something like an ABEC 3 (Use caution here, It has been something like 20 years since I checked up on bearings) and a table saw would uses the common ABEC 1. Price goes way up in between. Roger Shoaf |

Nothing like a like a little overkill... Jon |
