Replacing
Spindle Bearings
Should a bearing fail, your shaper will develop a
noticeable rumble, worse so when the machine is
put under load. If the bad bearing is not replaced,
it will eventually seize—possibly doing damage
to the machine. Bearings are standard sizes and
can be replaced through Grizzly.
