Good news / bad news. I got the 3D printed cam and immediately broke it while fitting the shaft. 20231012_151045_Original.jpeg So on to another angle of attack. I decided that the cam could be solid and much more robust if I was going to use a button bearing and have no need for a flanged edge. When...

That sounds logical. I set mine back to factory spec today and the high speed setting screw is in so deep that the locking nut is only on a thread or two. “Saw” setting is now only around 3500 which sounds pretty slow for a TS. My belt is from ShopSmith and is just about exactly 1/2”, maybe just ove...

I checked the 510 bearings this morning and they are 6003 (outer) and 6002 (inner).
Thanks for the help.

Canadian dollars and free shipping.
Shipping from VXB would be more than I paid.

Just FYI the ones I bought didn’t have the -10 marking, just said 5/8”.

Thank you! That helps a lot. I suspected the bearing seat might be a step up from the adjacent shaft from your earlier post.
It also means that I might have a use of my 3 extra 6202s as I have a belt sander.

Thanks. I’ll check the number today but they are definitely not 12mm wide and are almost certainly the 10mm as you say. Strangely the bearings I bought that fit the other two press tight were sold exactly as JPG a posted, 5/8” X 35mm x 11mm which i do find strange. As for shaft size the 510 seemed i...

Yes, those are the ones I have, an odd mix of metric and British.

Thanks. The bearings I have are 6202 and as I said they are just a shade thick. Otherwise they match perfectly. I’m tempted to press one on and see if I can still get the snap ring in but thought I’d ask first to see if someone already had.I’m not very worried about the second bearing. Personally I’...

I am replacing the quill bearings on my three machines. I got a bag of five on Amazon and have fitted two to the Mark VII and the Mark 5 but when I pulled the shaft on the Mark V (510) I noticed the front end bearing was 3/64” less in thickness than the other two (and my replacements). Does anybody ...
