ironsmith Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 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? I AM CHEAP!!!! Thanks, Jody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 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. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Einhorn Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 If you do have a bearing you can either find the # on it or take the measurement and order them from McMaster- Carr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainely,Bob Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 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.
