Replace sintered bushing bearing?
Hi all. I picked up an old Millers Falls arbor at a flea market. It has a
1/2" shaft with bronze bearings. The bearings are scored, and the shaft has a bit of wear. After cleaning, and using some lithium grease (it has oil caps) on the thing, I can barely feel play while wiggling each end. I plan on using 8" buffing wheels at 1750 RPM if I can........ Does this old unit lend itself to changing out the bushings? Any idea where to get them? I would also change them out for some sealed bearings if they make them this small, and having another shaft turned.......before I get too much $ involved ($5, so far), any opinions if this is worth doing? Can I use it as is? TIA Michael |
