Excellent - I will dig into obtaining these bearings.
* * * * EDIT * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The recommended bearings: NSK# 24TAC47BDFC10PN7A
The bearings I was looking at: NSK# 20TAC47BDFC10PN7A (direct replacement)
The recommended bearings appear to be over $475 each. OMFG! I was expecting maybe $150 tops. Can't do $950+ for two bearings. I know there is a difference, but I can not justify it based on the relatively minute benefits.
I will have to deal with .0003" backlash* from the set of angulars that came on the mill. I will replace them but it will be with a new set of the same bearing.
*I will measure the actual bearing slop in my current set of used bearings tonight and report back.
Thanks for the info and for the help. It's much appreciated. I will post any remaining info either in this thread or in the thread about the mill conversion.
I may start a new thread about the ball screws, yoke, interchange details and what I have learned from this experience as well as what I did to achieve whatever results I end up with.
