LOL... Big spur, dang near spit diet coke all over my keyboard on that one!!

Yes, it's out of the 1hp motor on the table saw I brought home last weekend. Oddly the bearing surface was missing .4mm off the shaft, even though the bearing is good and theres no signs of damage. The proper bearing is 17mm x 40mm x 12 and my shaft is 16.6mm [:(!] The good thing is that www.accuratebearing.com sells a 16mm x 40mm x 12mm bearing for less than $5.00 I now need to remove some material and it's too long to fit on my metal lathe. I can get it to an even 16mm over a length of 12mm with files easy enough. [:D] It works pretty good to be honest, just gotta watch that fan end!!

Here is the saw it goes to, the saw is 100% other than this. It made no bearing noise, but you could feel the play in the shaft so I tore the motor down to replace the bearings. I was a little shocked to find a good bearing and it was a bad shaft. It was not made like that because it's 17mm where the bearing must slide over to get to where it sits.

She's a beauty of a 1950's Craftsman... One of the last of the best, their "100 Series" all cast iron guts in there. [;)]

Loaded up with all the toys, sweet custom jigs, a fence mounted hold down set up, two roller out feed benches and about half a dozen freshly sharpend old school saw blades and all for $75.00 [:D]
