Re: Shopsmith Bearings Guide

What an excellent guide you have created, Everett. It covers so many nuances of bearing design and measurement, plus the different places they appear in the Shopsmith equipment. Very educational! After reading (and rereading) the guide, I may have spotted a place where a correction is needed: Page 2...
