UGH! I replaced the bearings in my lathe - ordered them from Delta directly. When I went to put the bearing in nearest the tailstock it was extremely tough to get it into the opening. Also it doesn't seem like the hole is cut perfectly for them so they don't seat in perfectly flush. I didn't notice if the prior bearing set had that problem or not. But the end result is that things are still running hot off the rod nearest this set of bearings. I know it's supposed to be a snug fit for these bearings but I had to beat them in with a dead blow hammer pretty hard. They still look fine and in tact with no visible damage but I have to believe that this is why they cause heat - the fit is just too tight. Any thoughts - I don't know what else to do to help this heat issue go away. I'm calling Delta today too.
