I have several pieces of older equipment that I need to do some maintenance and restoration on. Does anyone know of good online sources for bearings. I used to use Dixie Bearing locally but the last time I went in they would not sell to Individuals.:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

The msc catalog. Order a catalog online and it will be sent toy your house. They have pages and pages of bearings, all sizes. If you PM me I might be able to scan what you need.

Give them a call and ask for Lynne. She specializes in bearings for old woodworking machines.

Now thats what I'm talking about. Thanks everyone. I have not pulled down a machine as of yet but I have an old Delta Rockwell deluxe 9" table saw-jointer combo that I plan to restore if I can find a cabinet for the saw. It took a header from a dock and the jointer shaft went into the side of the saw cabinet. Hardly any damage to the jointer other than the guard.
