Gremlins...

This post is directed towards those of you who like hearing about other people's problems...

So yesterday I had the bearing gremlin visit my shop. Arbor bearings on one of my 1980 delta unisaws & infeed roller needle bearings on my powermatic 22" planer both seized. Table saw bearings I have in stock. Planer bearings are $131 per.

If this is the first time your bearings went on a 1980 saw I think you are doing pretty good

if you do a good job on replacing the bearings in the saw I will let you replace the ones in my saw. they have been singing for a while

All done :) smooth and quiet! it's not that hard of a job. The hardest part is removing the spanner nut that holds the bearing in furthest from the blade and then the bearing it's self. If you were to remove the motor and table top it makes it easier to access. The bearings are common and can be purchased on Amazon much cheaper than on delta's website.

I would gladly come down from Michigan to do the job... You buy the round trip tickets!

If you need a copy of the parts list and assembly schematic let me know. And if you have questions I'd be glad to try and answer them for you.
