Gots me some frozen up bearings on my Rikon B/S. Sounds like this is pretty normal to have the guide bearing constantly freeze up on these bsaws. Funny that Woodcraft doesn't carry bearings, and I can't find any in town either. Checked all the local industrial shops, motor shops, hardware stores, sporting good stores, and taverns. Aint nobody carry them.
So asking the help of the WN brain trust. I'm definitely not a big fan of the Rikon stock guide, but I'm not going to change it right now so I just want to replace the bearing.
Here is what I have found on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015RP...T987H7WA7G
and
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045F...PDKIKX0DER
Not much price difference with one being ceramic and the other steel. Wondering if one would be better than the other, or would it be better to go with a higher quality bearing costing more. Suggestions are always greatly appreciated.
