Bandsaw Bearing replacement needed

[T Folts]

I have a 14" Grizzly and need to replace the bearing on the guides. Should I just get the stock ones or swith to something else.

I've bought and used several sets of much more expensive bearings from NAPA auto parts stores.

Bearings are the weak link in the bandsaw. Lots of heat especially if saw dust builds up.

The last year I have been using bearings purchased from ****
There are two sizes.
The larger one is 6000Z and the more used smaller ones are
608Z

The smaller ones are used in some roller blades or boards.

Very reasonable price when bought by lot of 8 or 10.

So far these are outlasting the more expensive bearings.

Yep, Fleabay roller blade bearings, you can buy 10 for what one would cost you from Grizzly and they are the same quality.
