And in the context of us hobby users, "longer bearing life" means something like lasting until the year 2150.? A lesser clearance will still let the bearings outlive you.?
Well, almost. I had a blade guide bearing fail on my Jet 5x7 last summer, after 14 years of hobby use. I replaced all six and darn near broke my budget! (snicker)? PGN Bearings # 6000-2RS $0.93 each in box of 10. The same bearings are used as blade guide bearings in my bandsaw mill. They don't last so long in the sawmill so I buy them in boxes of 10.
