SX3 Spindle Bearing Sizes

[Babba]

Does anyone have the type/sizes of replacement spindle bearings for a Syil SX3?

I'm not looking forward to it but it's time to change them, she's done nearly a 1000hrs on the originals.

I'd really like to get everything in place before I strip her, time is £££money.

I like Mr. Hugh & I like my SX3 but I not like Chinese bearings.

No offence Syilchina & thank you for the offer but I reckon she'd benefit from some very high quality ones, particularly in view of her working alot harder than I do. I just watch her.

Do you know what sizes I should be ordering???

I didn't open a SX3 lately but I guess the spindle should be the same as the X4+, top bearing is 6006 RS

The photo is not clear enough, but Im referring to this one:

I replaced my upper bearings with a single taper bearing. I was fed up with the noise and the quality of the upper bearings and decided to find a better way.

Here is a post to what I did with mine. Being that I have 2 taper bearings, I center the shaft by tightening the shaft nuts. It proved to be a very good idea and the shaft is now producing better cuts that I got before as well.

Runout of tools on SX3 and X3 owners.
