So, the spindle bearings on my 40 year old unisaw are finally shot and need replacing.
I was about to post a query here for guidance/info on how to do it and where to obtain parts &c, when I figured that someone else probably asked that before. So I searched for "unisaw bearing" and up popped a post from a over a year ago from Dave Fleming with a link to a unisaw place in MA.
It took all of 2 minutes here on the Forum and the Web and I was looking at instructions (with pix) on how to replace the bearings.

There may be lotsa problems in the world, but there's some pretty neat stuff too. Compliments to all who make it possible.

Just replaced mine in January. It's a fairly easy job if you have the right tools. I had the local mobile machinist do it. $80 to have it done correctly beat $325 to buy a bearing press to do it incorrectly myself (Done that once already).
