Mwm54 thank you, that is all good info and it is very much appreciated.
This is a Serious although admittedly probably farfetched question but nothing ventured nothing gained soooo is there anyone who knows if there is any way to Improve on the quality of these sub-par bearings themselves somehow? Maybe by some type of lapping or grinding process? Im thinking thats probably not a realistic achievable goal, at least for the hobbyist but I find brainstorming with like minded people to be very beneficial plus i guess my way of thinking has Always been that "Nothing has EVER been possible until It Was!"In this particular case,it seems a suitable dimensioned replacement was available,just not the precision grade required by the user....this can sometimes be cured by a selection of bearings......and a co operative supplier......or the old adage...what cant be cured must be endured.
Ok even this is good...because this statement has me asking the question of How different grade bearings are produced? My train of thought is that in the metal working world the precision is worked out of the material.....or it gets better as more work is put into it! So my thoughts are that these "lesser" grade bearings were put together before they were "finished" being made into high grade bearings! If this holds any water then I believe it opens up different possibilities that may have been overlooked, maybe!Not possible to improve a bearing's grade AFAIK
once it's manufactured and assembled
because this statement has me asking the question of How different grade bearings are produced?
I realize this is really simplifying the subject matter however is this pretty much what happens?
