You can download a McGill cam follower catalog here:

Many different manufacturers out there, including SKF, IKO etc¡­.

Or just zip down to your handy dandy bearing house, with one in hand, and let them measure it. ?

The resurrection of the Bainbridge bandsaw continues. I've refinished the stand and base. Moving on to replacing all the bearings I find myself a bit bewildered. Attached you'll find images of the guide bearings. I believe the bearings are captured by the concentrics. However, one bearing shows signs of a previous owner trying to press the bearings out, and failed. So, I don't think I'll be attempting that route. I doubt the images show it, but I believe I see threads under the concentrics. However, the bolt is pretty soft and I don't want to screw up the flat head.?

So, my query to this group, how the heck do I go about getting these trashed bearings off????

I've considered they may be reverse threaded. However, I come to the same conclusion, regardless of the direction, I don't want to scar the concentrics. They are about as thick as a Sharpie pen and rather thin walled.?

?

Thoughts? Suggestions??

Thanks?

Darren
