62066ZZ bearings? Jet 10" bench buffer replacement question...

[1982fxr]

Just picked one of these up. Runs great but the bearings sound like they need to be replaced, I generally only buy old US grinders so this will be my first time taking one apart. Any thoughts or advice for a rookie?

Also, the bearings are 62066ZZ. What is a quality brand to get from a bearing house? Anything else I need to know about the bearings? Only ever replaced Timkens...

Vxb.com, amazon, and eBay have been good for me for typical consumable ball bearings. They've been the same quality as my local bearing houses. I just got some new SKFs from JSB on eBay for my band saw actually.

I typically go with Timken, SKF, or Koyo (in that order) if it is something critical or difficult to replace like a transmission or wheel bearing. For simple stuff like my blade guides, I use whoevwr seems to be selling the most with good reviews on amazon.

Been using SKF E2 Energy Efficient bearings. More expensive but they run smoother, motor runs cooler.
