Thanks, So your recommendation is for the 6207 to be standard clearance and the 2206 a C3? The 2206 is a self aligning bearing which should surely take up the tolerance within the castings. Jon

Hi @deema , I'm trying to decide which bearings to get. I see you used a C3 tolerance bearing for the 6207 and a normal tolerance for the 2206. Was there a reason for this? The Sedgwick manual doesn't mention specific tolerances and I'm no expert on this. Normal or C3 or doesn't it matter...

Thanks, It had occurred to me to swap the self aligning bearing with a same sized fixed double row bearing, or would that be asking for trouble?

Hi, Well done, a very comprehensive account. Back in 1983 I bought my MB new from Tewkesbury Saw Company and it's been in daily use since then. Mainly for light work in my furniture workshop. Less now that I've just retired. There is one thing that has plagued me...the self aligning bearing...
