    Default Bearings

    Hie Guys,

    I've got a Torquata router bit which is good enough for the melamine I'm cutting but the bearing lasted about 20 minutes.

    Assuming I'm not doing something wrong, anyone know of a good source for decent quality bearings in WA.
    Cheers
    Paul

    Paul, tried soaking the bearing in some solvent for a while, then oiling it? May be able to resurrect it.

    McJing (mcjing.com.au) have some bearings for router bits.


    Cheers................Sean, getting my bearings

    Hei Sean,
    This bearing was toast - at one point it was glowing red and finally broke up.
    Fortunately I was able to swipe a bearing off another bit to keep working.
    My router is a Makita 3612 which I guess was a bit too much for the cheap bearing.

    Cheers
    Paul

    Check the router RPM and get suitable Bearings not cheep #####, You should be able to pick up high speed bearings from skf or your local bearing outlet
    When you do try to get sealed bearings , they last longer in the dust filled shed

    Ah grasshopper,

    Sadly, sealed bearings have a lower RPM rating than shielded!

    You are of course correct , but if you can get sealed bearings that are rated for the speed, tis better than shielded or open bearings.

    Where Ivan said, I've previously raved about these guys prices & service, less than 24 hrs to my door from hitting enter button . for the same bearings I believe you may be chasing .
