Hey guys,
I ran across a 8" contact wheel for real cheep but it didn't have the bearing hub assembly, and I cant find replacements for less than 90 bucks.
Does anybody know of an alternative hub assembly that will work?
or a cheaper alternative?:unsure:
I AM CHEAP!!!!

Thanks,
Jody

If you have a set of bearings, call up your local NAPA and read the numbers off the bearings to them. See if you get lucky.

I did that a while ago with a Craftsman table saw, the cast iron variety, Got the bearings, don't remember the price but it was less than $20. Sears wanted a whole lot more, and would take weeks. My parts guy had them the next day.

On a visit to a bearing supply store they explained that bearings have a industry standard number somewhere on them. If you live in an area with industry check out the business listings and find a bearing supply store and take the bearing in to them. They charge a fraction of what a retail outlet would charge for the same bearing.

If you do have a bearing you can either find the # on it or take the measurement and order them from McMaster- Carr.

Just a couple of questions;
Do you have the hub or does it need a hub?
Do you have access to any machine tools or a buddy who works in a machine shop?
Do you want this to be a drive hub or a driven hub?
What size shaft do you plan to use this on?

Pics would help.
