    Default Need adjustable bearings

    I need 2 adjustable bearings for the y axis and Carvewright is out of stock. Unknown ETA for new parts. Does anyone have any they are willing to sell?

    If they are not broke here's a temp fix you might try,

    You can carefully remove the rubber seal from the bearing and soak and clean them with WD40. Once you have them clean up and turning freely, lube with 3 in 1 oil and reinstall the seal.

    I got the screws out of the old bearings and can get by with them for now. Thanks.

    Someone posted a link to the metric bearing many moons ago... You would need to remove the INSERT from a old bearing and install it in a new bearing... Likely freeze spray for the insert first.... I am not sure it is correct so buyer beware....

    Nothing with Julian. Most of my work is with the Wounded Warriors. I teach wood turning with carvings.
