Rebuilding a Delta 1460
Hello All,
I just did a Google search looking for headstockstock bearings for a 1460 and most of the posts are old, some links don't come up anymore. Does anyone have a source for such bearings and any other pertinent info on rebuilding this lathe. I am searching OWWM concurrnet with this group as well. Thanks in advance for any advice of information. Marc |

Bearings are bearings. I'd pull them out, get any numbers off them,
measure them, and have your bearing supplier match them with SKF or something good. If you have a bearing supplier in town, take them with you.

Rebuilding a Delta 1460
Marc - Bill is so right. I almost bought bearings for my Jet mini
from jet, and they were something like $32 plus shipping for two Chinese bearings, so final price was about $41 bucks. Turns out a bearing store here in town had the same bearings for $6 each in Timkin brand. It was a very common size - I took the bearing in and he asked me what brand I wanted it in! Called Jet, they told me how to tap out the bearings with a heavy hammer and a wooden dowel. Reinstall with the same tools, just reversing the procedure. Maiden voyage on bearing install, 45 minutes. It was easy! Robert |

I don't know if a 1460 is old enough to interest these guys, but
http://www.owwm.com/ is truly amazing. I gave a fellow turner an vintage lathe that was flooded during Katrina. He got step by step instructions on how to dissemble the head stock form these people.
