It seems my linear bearings don't fit...
Of course when I measure with calipers I get
bearing id = .495
shaft od = .495
cheap calipers btw...
I haven't taken a hammer to them yet, but trying to press them on by hand, I can't do it.
Maybe my mistake was buying those ceramic coated bearings. I just called and some real linear bearings are on the way...
So what do you guys think about those ceramic coated thingies?
Mike...
P.S. You can see, I am getting the stuff together for my first machine!
