608-Z Shielded Sealed Miniature Skateboard-Bearings - 8x22x7mm, 10 Pcs, Used in Longboard and Scooters Machinery, Roller Skates (10)

Who knew skateboard bearings were a perfect fit for a bandsaw? I purchased a secondhand Grizzly bandsaw that had been neglected for a while. Apparently, someone had set a paper cup of Coca-Cola on the cast iron table and forgot about it. For a LONG time. cup dissoved, acid at into the cast iron, and ran down into the set of guide bearings. The table I was able to get back to 90% original, but the bearings were seized. Grizzly very proud of a set. These were the exact same bearings for less than the shipping from Grizzly. Perfect fit and function. And with this set, I have spares left over!

Although these are marketed for skateboards, these bearings are very common in Air Conditioners, specifically the main fan motor. Very good deal since you receive 10 in the package. If you have quite a few window air units in your house, these are handy to keep on hand when your AC unit starts howling like a jet engine. They seem like decent quality: matching what came from the factory.

If any of you are doing the shop vac repair then you can count on these bearings working; watch some videos before you do it, I did she, the outer race with some cut pieces from an aluminum can. Works like a dream and didn’t have to throw out the shop vac. Wanted metal sided bearings As well in case things heat up.

Works

ok

I have Quadrafire Expedition 2 woodstove and the bearings seized up after sitting all summer. These fit my application perfectly. Nice and quiet.

Excellent bearings!! Quieted my LG mini split head unit fan right down.

A couple bearings have dented dust covers from production. May not effect bearing performance. A few sound like roller bearings inside meaning maybe too little grease. I picked two that sounded quiet and not dented to use in my fan motor. Fan sounds fine no noise running smooth. Will just have to see how long they last.
