Bearing Help

[Modagger]

Greetings!

I’m in the process of restoring a Craftsman model 100 bench top drill press. I’m at the point where I want to order new bearings but when I follow the link to the reference, it tells me what bearings were original and then a note saying “see below for accurate replacement”. As many times as I’ve looked “below”, I don’t see the information.

I imagine one of the “learned” will point me in the right direction while under their breath thinking, “here ya go dummy”, because it’s probably painfully obvious as to where it is.

Thanks in advance and please, be kind, I’m new at this.

Be well
Jeff

The MRC and the Norma numbers are the actual bearing numbers, available from any bearing supply, electric motor shop, and possibly some auto parts.

The spindle pulley bearings are 6205. I use ZZ shielded bearings here.
The quill/spindle bearings are 6202-5/8. I use 2RS C3 EMQ bearings here.

I buy bearings from www.jsbgreatbearings.com , but there are many sourcing options.

How are their shipping prices in general?

Alrighty, because their prices looked pretty good. Thanks for the source.

Yep. They carry some SKF and Nachi, but much of their stock is PRC. I've never had a problem with their house brand.

I put C-0 fit bearings in when I rebuild these and also double seal (greased for life vs shield where oil can be added). C-0 is probably more important for the spindle than the pulley. C-0 have tighter clearances than C-3 bearings, thus less potential runout. I get mine through Motion. Maybe a little more $ but not cheap China stuff. I put SKF in the pulley and NSK in the spindle.
